“Those who find true wisdom obtain the tools for understanding, the proper way to live, for they will have a fountain of blessing pouring into their lives. To gain the riches of wisdom is far greater than gaining the wealth of the world. As wisdom increases, a great treasure is imparted, greater than many bars of refined gold. It is a more valuable commodity than gold and gemstones, for there is nothing you desire that could compare to her. Wisdom extends to you long life in one hand and wealth and promotion in the other. Out of her mouth flows righteousness, and her words release both law and mercy. The ways of wisdom are sweet, always drawing you into the place of wholeness. Seeking for her brings the discovery of untold blessings, for she is the healing tree of life to those who taste her fruits.” Proverbs 3:13-18 TPT
Wisdom awards us the ability to make good use of knowledge, to make good judgement calls, and to recognize right from wrong. When troubling unforeseen circumstances begin to creep into our lives, the tools for understanding, along with the ability to either resolve, or determine the steps needed to walk through them, are all found within the understanding of our God-given wisdom.
In this passage, King Solomon continues to stress the necessity of seeking wisdom, even to stress it’s value to be much greater than bars of refined gold. Imagine the difference, that if in our troubled and imperfect world, we are drawn into a place of wholeness, lavished with untold blessings, covered with the healing tree of life, with the availability of tasting her fruits, all for the asking!
Heavenly Father, help us to remember the importance, the benefits, and the promises of daily seeking wisdom, as we discover our untold blessings, and be ever so thankful.
In Christ Love
