Day 43: Wisdom Chapter 7

Wisdom now speaks with the voice of Solomon. He is a man like everyone else, who came into the world in the same way.
What set him apart was that he valued Wisdom above everything, and she came to him. And with her came everything else - his riches, his power his fame.
He gives an almost scientific analysis of the spirit of Wisdom: “It is clear, clean, and confident; it cannot be harmed. It loves what is good. It is sharp and unconquerable, kind, and a friend of humanity. It is dependable and sure, and has no worries. It has power over everything, and sees everything. It penetrates every spirit that is intelligent and pure, no matter how delicate its substance may be.”
He describes Wisdom as “a breath of God’s power,” who can do anything, who makes everything new. Sounds like the Holy Spirit, doesn’t it?
