Sermon Text: Provers 8:1-4, 22-31
That we may be drawn into the wisdom that begins with awe
God of all, wisdom calls through the
whispering of your Spirit in and around us. Wisdom calls, and though we claim
to want wisdom, we shut out her voice. We turn away.
We listen, instead, to the voices of our
most selfish desires. We listen, instead, to our most impetuous emotions. We
listen, instead, to the many lies that are told in order to mollify us, mislead
us, and keep us rooted in that which undermines our full humanity and urges us
to settle for things that quickly turn to dust in our hands and ashes in our
mouths.
Forgive us for settling for foolish ways.
Forgive us for idolizing ourselves, the works of our hands, and the desires of
our hearts. Forgive us and draw us into the wisdom that begins with awe in your
Presence. Amen.
