Poverbs 1:28-29 More Consequences of Rejecting Wisdom

28 - Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 - For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 - They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

To be absolutely accurate, this is not the voice of God. It is the voice of His first creation, wisdom. It is the voice of a jilted lover, a spurned friend, and a rejected companion. Wisdom may pursue us and call us, but it will not force itself upon us.

Wisdom is only helpful to those who love wisdom.

The wise are those who seek it.

All others suffer the direct and logical calamity of rejecting her.

Wisdom will not answer at the last minute. It must come slowly to our lives as we seek it, assimilate it, practice it, and confirm it in our lives. If we wait until we need it is desperation, it will be too late.
