S – Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call insight your intimate friend, ⁵  to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words. 

Proverbs  7:4–5 ESV

O – Commentary:

are my sister The Hebrew word used here, achoth, does not always indicate a sibling relationship; it can also refer to a bride (Song 4:9–10; 5:1–2), which is probably its meaning here. The father advises his son to take wisdom, rather than the adulteress, as his intimate companion

 John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016), Pr 7:4.

A – When wisdom and insight (discernment) are intimately close to you, you will walk in a strong manner.  We can do this each day by asking the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11:2) to lead our day.  This is a great foundation to go into to each day in tuned with God’s leading and hearts ready to obey his will.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you.  We invite your Holy Spirit to lead us today into all wisdom, discernment, courage, counsel, knowledge and the fear of the Lord.  With this as our foundation, we go into today ready to be led by you.
