Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom because it is better than jewels. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Just how valuable is wisdom?
Scripture says, “Take instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.”
King Solomon in Proverbs 8:6-11 (ESV) emphasizes wisdom’s value.
“Hear, for I will speak noble things,
and from my lips will come what is right,
for my mouth will utter truth;
wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
All the words of my mouth are righteous;
there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.
They are all straight to him who understands,
and right to those who find knowledge.
Take my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is better than jewels,
and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.”
Search the Bible for godly wisdom. Pray and ask God to show you the way.
