When a familiar voice calls out our name, we stop and look. We want to hear what they have to say to us. God is constantly calling out our name. He wants to impart the wisdom and understanding that give us life and surround us with His favor. We must develop the habit of listening and become more familiar with His voice.
Proverbs 8:1, 35 says, “Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD.” One of our greatest pursuits is the search for wisdom. And yet, wisdom and understanding can easily be found. God is calling out to us with His wisdom through His Word, His Son, and His creation. Listen to Him, and we receive life and His favor.
