The Profit


Proverbs 3 says For her profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold.  She is more precious than jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.

These verses are talking about wisdom.

Yesterday we started a string of devos on comparing.  We realized nothing compares to Him and His great love for us.

Today we see that nothing we can desire in this life compares with wisdom.  Gaining wisdom is better than acquiring silver and gold, and jewels.  Really?

In fact, gaining wisdom ensures that we gain riches and honor, because we will then realize what true riches and honor are.

Solomon asked for wisdom, and he had great riches.  But they didn’t satisfy.  Wisdom enabled him to rule well.

Wisdom ensures that we make good decisions, treat others with respect, and choose life instead of death.

Nothing compares with wisdom.

Lord, grant us wisdom.
