DAILY?READINGS: Nehemiah 3; Daniel 12; Revelation 8
Wisdom is better than jewels…I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me…My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. Proverbs 8:11, 17, 19 (ESV)
God’s treasures are better than jewels, better than pure gold and choice silver. Sadly there are many people today adorned with jewelry and not with wisdom. Wisdom is not in anything you can put around your neck or on your wrist or fingers. It only is found with the Lord. His Word is full of His wisdom, and God’s Son, the Lord Jesus, is Wisdom. In Him “are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3). Love the Lord and His Word, and let His wisdom adorn your life. —Carl Knott
Oh, yes, my friend, there’s something more, something more than gold:
To know your sins are all forgiv’n, is something more than gold.
—James Martin Gray
