Proverbs 8: 1-11
According to a website, gemstone is a mineral, rock formed from the result of geological processes that elements consist of one or several chemical components that have a high sales price and demand by collectors. Gemstone to be polished before made jewelry. Indeed very precious gem stones. But as expensive as the high-value, can still be measured and rewarded with money.
And what about the wisdom? How much? Very expensive, far more precious than jewels, and certainly can not be assessed with any money. Wisdom is not merchandise. We go to Mega mall, there is no such thing as a counter or store Wisdom (Wisdom Store). As someone said, the money we can buy books but can not buy wisdom and knowledge. With money could buy drugs but can not buy health. Money can buy a mansion, but can not buy a home atmosphere. Many aspects of life that can not be measured with any money. In the style of personification, wisdom depicted offered himself to be accepted and become a non-material property that is stored in the liver, not in the bank. Those who receive it are getting the best.
In connection with the New Testament, wisdom is referring to Christ (John 1: 1-18). Who else is more valuable than our own personal God? Many people feel so proud because it has a great wealth. He can buy any suit her wishes. But what happens when death comes? Nothing can be taken along, because everyone will return to dust. Only for those who have Christ, have something eternal (cf. 1 Peter 1: 3-4). In everyday life, every believer needs a wisdom that is the truth and the teachings of Christ. James himself confirmed this as something that should be requested to God (James 1: 5). But how many people in this world who ask for the wisdom of God? If the requested material wealth so often and every day. For wisdom probably never because it is the stuff that is not visible. Brother, what we ask of God, gems or wisdom?
Inspiration: The righteous always walked with the Lord in everything, while the world was able to take care of himself without God.
