Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Proverbs 1:23
Wisdom cries out from the streets, in markets, in noisy intersections, and in the entrance of the gates (where people gathered, met, and discussed important matters), according to Proverbs 1:20-21. In other words, the wisdom of God is not bound by walls. It seeks you out, commanding you to repent. As you submit and repent, wisdom will be readily available to you moving forward.
Have you found this to be true? Have you been confronted with your sin by reading the Word, listening to a sermon, or talking to a friend, and then quickly repented? And after doing so, did you notice that you were given wisdom from on high for rooting out that sin?
God uses rather ordinary means to get the attention of the believer. His call to repent is always clear. On this first day of autumn, you may be anticipating a change in the weather and in the trees. It's the perfect time to expect God to make a change in your heart.
Prayer: Father, make me aware of Your voice. I want to hear Your call to repentance in areas in my life that I haven't even considered to be sinful. I want to walk in Your wisdom.
