Wise King Solomon, who wrote the Book of Proverbs in the Bible, personified the Holy Spirit as a woman, and named her Lady Wisdom.
Holy Spirit doesn’t have a body. So, in fact, Spirit isn’t male or female. But if it helps you to put a face with a name, this is the face I’ve chosen (see below).
Lady Wisdom
Who is Lady Wisdom?
Solomon gave Wisdom a platform to offer guidance to humans through proverbs.
When Wisdom (Holy Spirit) wants to talk to people who aren’t listening, she often chooses someone she trusts to pass the message along.
Proverbs are basically things that you learn from experience. Since the advice is beneficial, people repeat them to remind themselves and others to stay on the straight and narrow.
Just as importantly, but more often missed, proverbs caution people to avoid falling into TRAPS!
Once bitten, twice shy.
Lady Wisdom doesn’t mince words.
Like an experienced parent, Wisdom is welcoming, nurturing and gentle. But, when the kids mess up, the opposite is also true.
Wisdom tells it like it is, “You did not follow my advice and did not listen when I corrected you. So, I will laugh when you are in trouble. I will make fun when disaster strikes you.” Proverbs 1: 25-26
