“We Can Put No Price of Wisdom”

wisdom is a treasure

Today let us meditate on the treasure and riches of God’s wisdom. Wisdom is one of His priceless treasures available to us, and all we have to do is ask Him for His wisdom when we are lacking in it. Wisdom is found only on one path, and that is the path of  those who have a desire for God, and they long for Him  to direct their hearts. Let us value it and be ever so thankful that He said in His Word that it is there for us.   I love this portion of scripture in Job that so beautifully speaks of the value of God’s wisdom, and how it can be compared to no other thing on this earth.
 
 
 

Job 28:13-18

” No human perceives wisdom’s true value,

nor has she been found in the land of the living.

The deep says, “She is not to be seen within me.”

“Nor within me,” says the voice of the raging sea.

No gold can be given in trade for wisdom,

nor a sum of silver weighed out as her price.

She cannot be bought with all the gold of Ophir,

neither with onyx nor sapphire.

The shimmer of gold and brightness of glass cannot compare,

and no refined gold jewelry is worth her in trade.

Perish the mention of coral and crystal;

even more than pearls is the value of wisdom.”
 
 
 
We thank you Father that Your wisdom is above and beyond the wisdom of this world.   We praise you that you have stored treasures of wisdom up for us, and all we have to do is ask for Your wisdom.  Remind us by Your Holy Spirit that Your thoughts and ways are higher than our ways.   May we desire with all of our hearts to draw upon the blessing of Your wisdom that flows from heavenly places.
 
 
 
James 3:17 (AMP)

“But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).”
