Commentary on Proverbs 8:34

Theological / Devotional

Watching daily. Many pictures are suggested by this verse. Some see eager students waiting for an honored teacher to come out to resume their instruction, others see Levites guarding the doors of the Temple, still others are reminded of a lover waiting long hours in the hope of catching a glimpse of his beloved. All emphasize the necessity of making a deliberate effort to begin each day under the direction of divine wisdom. Man stands in dire need of this wisdom (James 1:5).
