Proverbs 8:22: Now therefore, listen to me, my children, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
Insight
It is no mean and undeserving person who is calling. It is none other than the Wisdom of God, the source of all light and knowledge (verses 12–14), the King of kings (verses 15–16), the loving rewarder of his children (verse 17), the rich portion and unfailing guide of his people (verses 18–19). Look at him once again in his divine glory as the only-begotten Son of God (verses 22, 24), the Mediator in the everlasting councils of redemption (verse 23), the almighty Creator of the world (verses 27–30), the adorable Friend of sinners (verse 31). 1
Application
His promised blessing is only for those who carry out what they hear Him say and for those who keep [His] ways with godly fear, constancy, and perseverance, keeping their eye on his ways, their hearts toward them, and their feet in them. Does this describe you?
