What Distinguishes Lady Wisdom? Voddie's fourth sermon in the series focuses on "Lady Wisdom" who calls out to the young man to learn from her! Sadly, we often have trouble hearing her!
Why do we have trouble? Voddie points out four (interrelated) reasons for our problem: Our sin nature alienates us from Wisdom. Add to that the "world, flesh and devil". Sinners also entice us away from Lady Wisdom. We also seek Wisdom apart from Christ--such a search is ultimately futile.
So how can we know Lady Wisdom apart from Dame Folly? First, she cries out publicly. Notice that often the wicked will "entice" you (see 1:10)...implying a secretive way of drawing someone in! *Big Warning* though! The devil will often pervert the truth by crying out loudly too! See the recent celebration of unbiblical behaviour in society!
Second, Lady Wisdom is distinguished by her motives! She wants to bring life! (see John 10:24-29) *Warning*: this is not the prosperity gospel/"your best life now" kind of stuff. We're talking not temporary but eternal life!
Third, LW is distinguished by her path. She leads to the celestial city--the narrow gate, not the worldly one!
Finally, she leads us to a different "end"--pointing us to Christ! Application of true knowledge! *Christ* is our wisdom! (See 1 Corinthians 1:20-3

Great Sermon! Divine Wisdom
The book of Proverbs is one of the “many ways” God spoke (Heb. 1:1), leading us to his only Son Jesus. What stands out about the book of Proverbs is its gracious offer of divine wisdom for foolish and weak people.
The book of Proverbs is an outpouring of grace from God. Again and again, the author appeals to the reader as his dear “son” (Prov. 1:8, 10, 15; 2:1; 3:1, 11, 21; 4:1, 10, 20; 5:1, 7, 20; 6:1, 3, 20; 7:1, 24; 19:27; 23:15, 19, 26; 24:13, 21; 27:11). This book breathes with the Spirit of adoption (Rom. 8:15). We may therefore study Proverbs not to earn a sonship still out of reach but to bear witness to a sonship already given.
