Greetings everyone and thanks for joining me for this edition of our Sunday School preview.  This Sunday’s lesson is entitled “The Gifts of Wisdom” and is found in Proverbs 8:8-14, 17-21. 

For the last two weeks we have been studying godly wisdom from passages found in the book of Proverbs.  This week we continue our study of wisdom in Proverbs.  The focus this week is on the things or gifts wisdom provides.  Some of these are repeats of what we have already read.

Wisdom is special in that it possesses some things that are extremely valuable and exclusive.  Godly wisdom imparts righteous words.  Worldly wisdom is often perverse and crooked because of the selfish interests and purposes of those who use it. 

Those who able to discern godly wisdom will find wisdom’s words understandable.  In wisdom’s words flow knowledge.  The text reveals and emphasizes that wisdom’s words are more valuable than the best and choice silver, gold and jewels.  If fact, nothing can even be compared to the value of it. 

There is a mutual love between wisdom and those who love wisdom.  Those who love wisdom will seek wisdom early in the morning upon rising from sleep.  Wisdom will be their companion throughout the day.  Wisdom brings with it riches, honor, wealth and righteousness.  All these things are granted without silver and gold and are to be esteemed more value than they. 

The love for wisdom brings wealth and fills the treasury of those who love it.  The imparting of all these things or gifts is why all of God’s children need, seek and value godly wisdom.  

Well, I hope you will be able to attend SS this coming Sunday and share your thoughts with your class.  If you cannot attend your own Sunday School, you are invited to join us online at 9:00 am live and interactive at our website.  If you have any comments or questions, be sure to place them in the comment section of this preview.  So, until next time remember to fear God and keep His commandments.
