Proverbs 20:15
There is
gold, and a multitude of rubies:
but the lips
of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Gold and
rubies are valuable because they establish wealth and can be liquidated to
purchase things we need and things we desire.
The Lord is telling us that lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. Precious means rare and not easily found or
gotten. Lips of knowledge are rare and
precious. We need to consider what we
say and what to have lips that speak things that are beautiful, valuable and
worth something – words that can be taken to the bank. We should be women that want to speak things
to our husbands, our children and friends that would give them resources for
life. We get this knowledge through a
working knowledge of God’s mind on matters.
When we diligently acquaint ourselves with God’s Word and what He says
our minds are transformed and the knowledge we need to speak is stored in our
hearts and minds. When we order our
lives according to His ways we will be familiar with how to use what God says. This will help us give knowledge to people in
a way that they can understand and use it.
If we do not take what we learn and put things into practice we will not
be able to give knowledge from an experiential perspective. We must be women who do not think we know
everything so we are always in a teachable place ready to receive instruction
from our Father. Oh Lord, help us store
in our hearts your truth and then out of that abundance may our lips speak the
words of knowledge rather than opinions.
