“Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.”
Proverbs 8:10-11
knowledge rather than choice gold,

and nothing you desire can compare with her.”
Proverbs 8:10-11
In Proverbs 8, Solomon reveals God’s wisdom - its words and attributes.
Wisdom is personified as a woman, who stirs our affection for God and offers
the best principles of life and the most valuable benefits. It is an impressive
and inspirational teaching of the value of wisdom. When we find and receive
her counsel, live a life of faith in Christ, we have the assurance we have access
to God, acceptance, communion with Him, peace and a supply of grace.
In Proverbs 8:10-11, believers are instructed to choose wisdom - to know,
experience and prefer it before all the wealth of this world. It needs to be not
only heard, but received. When we have God’s wisdom, we have the knowledge
and fear of God in our hearts and are better prepared for all aspects of life.
Listen, watch and wait for sound counsel!
