Genesis 30:1-31:16Matthew 10:1-23
Psalm 12:1-8
Proverbs 3:13-15
Proverbs 3:13-15 reads
13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
Why do we (when I say "we" I mean "me") not realize the great value of godly wisdom? Could Daniel interpret Pharoh's dreams without the Word of the Lord? How would Jesus have survived the temptations without first feasting on the bread that is God's word? And yet here we find ourselves, confident to handle life without first reading from sacred scripture. Like soldiers without armor, we march into war and scratch our heads asking the question "What went wrong?" No spiritual war was ever won without the sword of God's word firmly in place. We cannot hope to succeed without first embracing that which is most valued. God's word. May we search for her like rubies and cling to her as silver.
