Bible Readings 365 YLT January 4th

As we read the Bible, God brings to our attention by his Holy Spirit in us, words that he wants us to take note of. As I was reading the three verses from Proverbs Chapter 1, verses 20-22, my attention was drawn to the words: "Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, in broad places she giveth forth her voice,". Firstly, because the word "out-place" is as new word and so I pondered what it meant. Wisdom is not confined to closed spaces, available to a limited few, but is broadcast, outside, in open space and is not quiet and secretive but clearly to be heard: "crieth aloud'. And secondly, not only in an out-place but in broad places can wisdom be heard. Wisdom is freely and clearly available so it is human choice which rejects wisdom: the simple choose to love simplicity, scorners desire to be scornful, and fools hate knowledge. I know a person who when I talk to them about the things of God, they answer that they don't do religion, or that they don't get involved in thinking about these things or that religion leads to wars or give another excuse for ignoring the most important things for human beings to consider in life.
