“She is more precious
than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.” Proverbs 3:15
In the previous two verses we saw that wisdom is better than
silver and gold, and now again we see how priceless wisdom really is. It’s as
if King Solomon is really trying to drive this point home to us.
Wisdom is more precious than jewels. When I think of jewels,
I think of precious treasures. This is how we should view wisdom. We should
think of wisdom (knowledge applied) as a priceless and precious treasure, worth
so very much. If there is a priceless and precious treasure that I know about,
I’m going to want to seek that treasure until I find it. I think of the song
lyrics that go like this: “Seeking You as
a precious jewel, Lord to give up I’d be a fool, You are my all in all.” In
Jesus is found all the wisdom I could ever have, and as I seek Him I believe I
will gain more and more wisdom. Daily I need to wake up and really see Jesus as
my precious jewel, the One that I want to seek with all that I am.
Application: Tonight I will memorize Psalm 27:8 to remind me
to seek Jesus in all things.
“You have said, ‘Seek
My face.’ My heart says to You, ‘Your face, LORD, do I seek.’” Psalm 27:8
