Hey Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning I came across something in Proverbs 8 that was so good to me! I knew about the bible verses talking about\u00a0Jesus being with God in the beginning and being “daily His great delight”, but I thought that was something that was just inserted into Proverbs without any prior references to Jesus. Instead, I\u00a0found that the verses began by talking about “wisdom”, and then it shifted towards talking about Jesus as an individual. When I went back a few verses and started reading it again, I realized that “wisdom” was “interchangeable” with Jesus and it was just being used as another name for Him! That was so neat to me! \u00a0Maybe Aaron and I can team up to see if the “w” on wisdom can be capitalized! Ha!<\/span><\/p>\n

Samuel<\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 8<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0I,\u00a0wisdom<\/em>, dwell with prudence; I uncover knowledge of cunning ways.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom. I am understanding. I have strength.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0I\u00a0love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. \u00a0Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. \u00a0My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold, and my revenue better than choice silver.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. \u00a0I\u00a0walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice,<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. \u00a0to cause those who love me to inherit substance; I will fill their storehouses.<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. \u00a0The\u00a0Lordcreated me the beginning of His way, the first of His works.<\/span><\/li>\n
      7. \u00a0I\u00a0was formed before eternity, before the beginning, before earth existed.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
      8. 24. \u00a0<\/em>I\u00a0was brought forth when there were no depths\u00a0of the sea, when there were no springs abounding with water.<\/span><\/li>\n
      9. \u00a0Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \u00a0when He prepared the heavens,\u00a0I was there<\/em>. When He decreed a circle on the face of the deep,<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \u00a0I\u00a0was at His side, like a master workman, daily His great delight, always laughing in His presence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
