Wisdom’s Value

Scripture:

“Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal. It cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭28:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Job is speaking here to his friends and tells them about wisdom.  He says that wisdom is more valuable than god and crystal, yet it cannot be purchased for any amount.  Wisdom is more valuable than the things we dig into the earth to find and work incredibly to mine.

Application:

If wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal, which we dig in the earth and expend a huge amount of time and effort to obtain, why don’t we seek it and value it more?  We should constantly be seeking the Lord for His wisdom to flow through our lives.  We should use all means to brain wisdom because the Word is full of scriptures about the value of it.  We need to seek it like a precious jewel.

Prayer:

Father, I want Your wisdom in my life.  Help me to pursue it completely and to obtain it.  Help me not to make decisions without wisdom.  Let me be guided by Your wisdom and not the wisdom of the world.  You are the wisest of the wise and I want to follow You and Your teachings.

Your Son,
Jeff
