The Statue of Liberty– “Lady Liberty” as we know her– stands in the New York harbor with a torch that welcomes all those who come to the United States seeking safety, peace, and liberty. In Proverbs chapter one, the writer Solomon creates a female character named “Lady Wisdom”– who stands boldly in public places and calls out to anyone who will listen. She beckons people to come to her to find true wisdom that can help them live skillfully for God in God’s world. As we examine this famous text, what are the three appeals of Lady Wisdom? Who is she calling? How is she calling? And why is she calling? What are the relevant lessons she can still teach us today? ~Words to the Wise, Part 4
