Proverbs 9:1-6. Who is Lady Wisdom?
Lady Wisdom has set the table in her house, and now she sends out messengers to every high point in town to invite all people to come and eat at her table. She makes sure that everyone can hear her invitation, not only the rich or those close by, not only the locals or the males. She calls out to people, urging them to open up to the knowledge she has to offer. Wisdom can be learned, and she can teach it!
Who is this Lady Wisdom, who invites all of us to her inclusive table? This character takes up the first eight chapters of the Book of Proverbs. Some scholars call her a Goddess. That seems strange. We are used to viewing the Holy Trinity as an all-male entity. Women are not part of it. But is that really true? Come and see this Sunday how traces of Goddess are found throughout the bible. Open your heart to the teachings Lady Wisdom has to share! We meet on Sunday at 10 a.m. to Our Savior Lutheran Church, 745 Front Street S, in Issaquah or on YouTube. See you there!
– Pr. Kristin-Luana
