VIDEO NOTES
*******************************
Hey kids! In today’s lesson we are going to be talking a little more about wisdom. In Proverbs 4, the author does a really funny thing. He talks about wisdom like it’s a person. The adult word for this is he “personifies” wisdom. There's a pretty important reason that he did this so let's take a look!
Wisdom can be your friend.
Did you ever think about that? Wisdom is a thing, right? Wisdom is the good advice we use to make good choices. So, think of wisdom like your best friend who walks beside you at school, always there ready to help. This is what our memory verse says!

Proverbs 4:6 Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you.

So, our memory verse says that Wisdom will protect us and guard us from danger. But look at what else this Proverb says about Wisdom.

Proverbs 4:8-9 If you prize wisdom, she will make you great. Embrace her, and she will honor you. She will place a lovely wreath on your head; she will present you with a beautiful crown.”

Now, this Proverb gives even more reasons why Wisdom is our friend. If we listen to Wisdom. If we value Wisdom, she will make us great. If we embrace Wisdom, she will honor us. It even says Wisdom will give us a beautiful crown! That sounds like a pretty cool friend to have.

So, where would you find a friend like that?
Your parents can introduce you to Wisdom.
They’ve already met her. They know her pretty well, and their job is to make Wisdom your friend, too.

Proverbs 4:10 My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life. I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths.

Your parents have been friends with Wisdom since they were your age, so they can teach you a lot. They want you to stay on the right path, and Wisdom wants to be your friend to help you do that. So if you and Wisdom aren't friends yet, I'm sure your parents would love to introduce her to you!

And here's one last thing about our good friend, Wisdom.
Wisdom will keep you on the right path.
Just like your best friend, Wisdom doesn't want to see you sad or in trouble. They want only the best for you life. And, they want to steer you away from danger.

Proverbs 4:14-15 Don’t do as the wicked do, and don’t follow the path of evildoers. Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way. Turn away and keep moving.

Evil people and evil things want to pull us away from God. They want to put us on a path that leads to some really bad stuff. But Wisdom wants to keep us on God’s path and help us to recognize danger when it comes our way. When we walk with Wisdom, we will choose to honor God and steer clear of evil.

So, is Wisdom your friend? Get to know her now, and she’ll be a friend for life!
