Lady Wisdom

Monday January 5^th, Sirach 24: ‘Then the Creator of all things gave me a command, and my Creator chose the place for my tent. He said, “Make your dwelling in Jacob, and in Israel receive your inheritance.”  In Sirach, the one speaking here is Lady Wisdom.  It was considered a gift to the people of God.  It was and is a gift to be used and nourished, a gift to be sought.  It is a gift through which the wonders of God are revealed.  No wonder Lutherans have so many colleges and schools.  We love to discover the wonders of God. Learning is a gift that keeps one in wonder and awe at the marvels of God’s gift of creation.  Learning is life long and should be life long and not just for a job.
