Insight is
defined as “the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding
of a person or thing.”
I appreciate that
the crafters of the NIV translation of the Bible have used this word “insight”.
The author of this passage depicts wisdom as a woman who is encouraging the
simple to follow her ways. Wisdom is
defined as “the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the
quality of being wise.” But this passage takes it even deeper to explain that
the following of wisdom’s ways fosters the gaining of an accurate and deep
intuitive understanding. This goes beyond head-knowledge to gut-level
intuition.
I praise God that
through reading His word, through the indwelling of His Spirit, and through
embracing His wisdom we can gain an insight that will be deeply engrained—to
lead us and guide us through this crazy thing called life.
