Wisdom or Wealth?
Dear Lord, I pray for people to realize that godly wisdom is more precious than rubies. In Jesus name, amen.
Don’t be tricked, and don’t settle for second best.
How does one value something as intangible as wisdom?
Compare it to the value of precious stones. For example, rubies can be measured in currency or barter value.
In Proverbs 3:13-15 (NKJV) the distinction between the two is clear when it says,
Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
The quest for godly wisdom leads to an incomparable treasure trove that includes happiness and understanding.
Scripture weighs wisdom on one side and profits of silver, fine gold, and rubies on the other. The latter are found lacking when compared to wisdom.
Wisdom wins; rubies are just rocks.
