E53: Proverbs A - As Old as the Earth

The Bible in 30 Seconds or Less | Old Testament: Books of Poetry and Wisdom

We tend to know wisdom when we see or hear it. From a grandmother. An esteemed elder. A good story. In the book of Proverbs, wisdom is a feminine figure of divine discernment. She says: The LORD created me at the beginning of His course, As the first of his works of old. Now sons and daughters, listen to me; Happy are they who keep my ways. Proverbs is an invitation, not to simple answers, but to seeking and listening to the way of wisdom. A way that's as old as the earth.
