August 31 - He Dwells With The Prudent.

We see here that Wisdom begins to speak on Its own behalf, therefore we can read throughout the rest of the chapter the descriptions of Christ Himself.

Proverbs 8:12
“I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.”

He dwells where prudence is found. To be prudent is to be cautious in practice with purpose. When we seek to fulfill His purpose for our lives, we must be diligent to follow His guidance.

Ephesians 5:15-16
“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

Our time is running short, we must redeem the time we have been given.

Colossians 4:5-6
“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”

Would the Lord consider you to be prudent in your endeavors?
