Sirach 51:13-30: Pursuit of Wisdom – Part II
Friday, September 8, 2023
I burned with desire for her,
never relenting.
I became preoccupied with her,
never weary of extolling her.
We expend all our resources to discover wisdom’s secrets.
I spread out my hands to the heavens
and I came to know her secrets.
For her I purified my hands;
in cleanness I attained to her.
At first acquaintance with her, I gained understanding
such that I will never forsake her.
We promise to remain faithful, no matter the obstacles.
My whole being was stirred to seek her;
therefore I have made her my prize possession.
The Lord has rewarded me with lips,
with a tongue for praising him.
We thank God for the passion of wisdom’s teachings, for the hope of wisdom’s lessons, and for the love of wisdom’s healing transformation.
Tomorrow, calling on wisdom.
When we use the scripture link and drop-down menus to explore Proverbs 2:1-22, we discover the passion of wisdom.
