"Wisdom has built her house;
she has carved its seven columns.
She has prepared a great banquet,
mixed the wines, and set the table.
She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come.
She calls out from the heights overlooking the city.
'Come in with me,' she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
'Come, eat my food,
and drink the wine I have mixed.
Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live;
learn to use good judgment."

Wisdom wants to be found. You don't have to do anything but look for it. And you don't have to look far, either. It is readily found. In fact, it's knocking at your door right now. It will give you a "high-altitude" perspective ("She calls out from the heights"), which is what is so often needed. She offers life, enjoyable life. To think that God's ways are not "fun" is to get it backward. To have God's wisdom is to truly live.
