Proverbs
3:13-18
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and
the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the
merchandise of silver,
and
the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies:
and
all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in
her left hand riches and honour.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her
paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold
upon her:
and
happy is every one that retaineth her
We
really need to know that wisdom and understanding must be found and
received. We do not look within we look
up. Just like you might enjoy looking
for the best deal in a department store or that thrift store find, you must
look eagerly for the wise way of handling a matter and to have the
understanding the Lord would want you to have.
Wisdom,
choices made by the Lord’s standards, makes a pleasant life and peaceful
rewards. If we foolishly squander our
time instead of doing those things we should do we usually end up with an
unpleasant attitude and anything but a peaceful household. When we need to wisely handle our time in
order to be somewhere on time and choose to forsake such wisdom, our journey is
usually quite tumultuous and unpleasant.
We need to retain wisdom and continue building our homes not upon what
we want to do but upon wisdom’s counsel and leading.
