Aug. 8 - Prov. 8

Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud: “To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:1-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Replace one word in the phrase "Wisdom calls out to all people" and you have "God calls out to all people." This reminds me of another verse;

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We're also told that if we seek the Lord, calling out to Him, we will be found. God longs for relationship with those who would bend their hearts toward Him. This is a pursuit that will be rewarded, not with riches or fame, but with His presence and guiding hand.
