Wisdom’s Journey: Proverbs 16:16

Terri GillespieWisdom’s Journey Through Proverbs

What treasures do you see?

TODAY’S PROVERB: How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver. Proverbs 16:16, TLV

When wisdom and understanding are our priorities, we view the world differently. We see the inconsistencies, the injustice, the lack. Seeing our choices through our Heavenly Father’s lens helps us to focus on the reality that no matter what is going on around us, He’s still sovereign. He is LORD. He is the beginning and the end.

Sometimes our faith and wisdom journey may seem like we have nothing to show for our efforts. While the world around us pursues wealth, they may have the rewards of that pursuit represented by silver and gold. What do people see as our reward?

Perhaps they don’t see. But with our Father’s lenses, ah, there is much to see. Rewards much more valuable than precious metals and jewels. Rewards like eternity in heaven with our LORD. Peace. Joy. Community. Love. That knowing this world has little to offer us except the untainted beauty of His creation and created.

That’s what we can see every single day. His blessings. And, as we continue our journey, we can help others to see, too. To join us in this amazing time of being His children.

May we see what is precious in our Father’s sight, my friends.
