Worship sets the pattern for our lives; if our altar is crowded with idols (money, relationships, rituals, ego), we can’t be surprised when our life mirrors their corruption.

You can’t confuse forces and elements with the reason you exist. Don’t worship the creation—worship the creator!

Elohim disciplines not with destruction, but with strategic mercy.

There has to be a purification in places that are ‘inhabited only by angels and spirits’—just like Israel’s desert pilgrimage; we need to embark on our own desert pilgrimage.

In Wisdom of Solomon 10, we’re gonna see the theme of Wisdom as the divine force that brings salvation, redemption, and transformation through human history. The stories of Noah, Lot, Jacob, and others will show יהוה’s sovereign intervention in times of crisis.

Solomon’s plea for wisdom is just like that of Moshe and David who both sought divine guidance for their leadership.

Wisdom’s involvement in establishing the world. She actually imparted the wisdom that allowed creation to function in harmony with יהוה.

Romans 8:16 in the Peshitta reads, “And she the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,” This Shavuot let's embrace the feminine nature of the Holy Spirit from the Hebrew and Aramaic traditions and gain comfort for our souls in a time when so many need love and comforting.

Wisdom is "without guile" and "imparts without envy." There’s a purity and refinement that’s totally akin to the process of our spiritual purification!

Solomon calls for those in power to understand their responsibility, act with righteousness, and lead with wisdom.
