Wisdom – Pointing the Way —> PROVERBS 3:13-20 [5]

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. – Psalm 118:8

 

13   Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
    the one who gains understanding.
14  For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
    and her wages are better than gold.
15  Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you desire can compare with her.
16  She offers you long life in her right hand,
    and riches and honor in her left.
17  She will guide you down delightful paths;
    all her ways are satisfying.
18  Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
    happy are those who hold her tightly.

19  By wisdom the Lord founded the earth;
    by understanding he created the heavens.
20  By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,
    and the dew settles beneath the night sky.

In verses 13-18 we see the value of wisdom emphasized and reemphasized.  (See words in bold print).  The benefits of wisdom are all fantastic!!!  Seeking and following wisdom enables us to navigate life.

It is like having a personal tour guide, pointing the way.    6161659-tour-guide

Wisdom is so powerful, verses 19-20 says, it was By wisdom and understanding the Lord founded the earth, and created the heavens.

We could compare wisdom to binary code.  To those who don’t know what it is or how to apply it, it simply looks like a bunch of ones and zeros.  But for those who “get it”, and “apply it”, the possibilities are endless.
