Sophie’s Choice…Hearing Lady Wisdom

Sep 15

In this reflection from September 15, 2024, Rev. Dr. Elisabeth Jones invites us to lend our ears to “Lady Wisdom.” In today’s Old Testament reading, “Lady Wisdom” cries out from the crossroads in the city, (not from some lofty ivory tower, or majestic temple), and what she cries is often hard to hear. She is forthright, not backing down from hard truths, calling out injustice. How can that possibly be “Good News?” Today’s worship invites us to listen, to hold on tight, and to imagine–and work for–a world where Wisdom’s vision of a world restored to God’s Dream becomes our own.
