Proverbs 8 & 9....the "choice" of an old generation

How does one choose something that has been there before anything else? In chapter 8...Solomon explains how wisdom was there even BEFORE the beginning(verse 22)
That emparted to me the question..."Why is our acceptance to "choose wisely" more difficult than "primal" instinct, then?" My Answer: Because it is the MOST primal...even BEFORE mankind(Adam) was created by God...and thus, man ALONE CANNOT choose it WITHOUT choosing God FIRST! :) Something obviously, Adam and Eve failed to do for us...
In chapter 9...Solomon paints the picture of how that choosing of wisdom will be benificial.(verses2 through 6) Then he talks about mockers...
And John Milne's response to this?...Yes...begin to live...stop mocking...
However...
John Milne will ALWAYS wonder, though...and pray....yes...pray...show me the right path, Lord...I still believe in it's truth...I can "taste and see" it....If I can only grasp it firmly, and make it tangible...believe....believe...

I am going to wait and recap chapter 10 until after tonight's LIFE group...because that chapter initself is a BOOK...
