Wisdom Is Better Than Gold!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for wisdom is better than gold and more precious than jewels.
People the world over search for wisdom. Some will spend a fortune to discover wisdom’s hidden secrets. Some seek advice from supposedly wise people. That advice may or may not turn out to, in fact, be wise.
God’s wisdom is found in his holy and inspired word, the Bible.
Proverbs 3:13-18 (ESV) portrays the value of wisdom.
“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than gold.
She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.”
Have you valued God’s wisdom in such high regard? Now that you know the value King Solomon gave wisdom, won’t you value it more highly?
