In today's daily bread the wisdom makes "911" call to us.
Mr. Trump says the U.S.is getting smaller so he calls to stand up to make the U.S. great again.
"Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?" Prov. 8:1
Why are the verses in the form of a question? Why are they in a negative question, "does not"?
The answer is obvious: to emphasize the point. There is a call 'rigging' but no one listens, or although the call has been there ringing out 24/7 loud and clear many consider the call as non-existent.
What doe the call say?
First, the source and channel
Verse 1 talks about the highest point (2). This point refers to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as the Scriptures call him the son of the Most High. With his wisdom Jesus founded the earth (which is rich with all resources like food. With his understanding he formed the heavens (which represents the environments in a loose sense of the word). Knowledge denotes the details like how to do's.
Gate in verse 3 (to the city of life) symbolizes the channel through which resources travel, which again represents Jesus Christ, for he says directly on himself, "I am the gate" to the sheep pen.
So if one looks to become rich again (like Mr. Trump calls out saying, "Let us make America great again" one must first look for Jesus, the Lord and Savior.
Second, the way to secure what the call offers
Verses 4-19 describe the blessings that the call offers. Question becomes "How do I secure the offer?" "How can I gain wisdom, understanding, and knowledge"?
The last two verses answer the question: the way of righteousness, that is "live by faith in the Lord." As one puts trust in the Son, the Creator and Redeemer of God, one gains what the call calls out to us. And the result is the cities getting filled up with treasures!
