A TREASURE MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD: WISDOM

Beloved Brothers Blessings ... The word of God always surprises us! It is a language full of wisdom with a high high index of power. If you are looking for something sublime that provides security to your life, nothing better than to open and go through the Sacred Scriptures.

Wisdom is named in the Bible as more valuable than gold and precious stones (Proverbs 8:11), and nothing that we can have material will be compared to the value of wisdom.

We as children of God must go in search of true wisdom, since from it comes the strength of the Christian.

Ecclesiastes 7:19
Wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten powerful ones in a city.

What is the origin of wisdom?

Being a vital resource for us, we must know everything about it.

Job 28:28 Wisdom comes from fear of the Lord, which gives us the light to respect him and always please him, this is the only way to have a happy and correct life. One of the gifts that I always ask of God in prayer is wisdom because with intelligence we resolve more than with force.

Wisdom comes from experience:

We have always heard that gray hair does not come alone and together with wisdom, this is not far from the word of God since in Job 32: 7 we see how wisdom grows along with life experiences. As a young Christian, I like to listen to the experiences of others and use the Bible as a filter, grabbing the good and discarding what does not build.

Wisdom keeps us in the truth:

The prophet Hosea teaches us that wisdom gives us the understanding of arriving at the ways of God which are perfect for our life. If we are obedient to it, we will not fall into bad places, because that is why we will be just before the Lord.

Who is wise to understand this, and prudent to know it? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous will walk in them; but the rebels will fall into them.
Hosea 14: 9

The Bible describes who are prudent:

In Matthew 7:24 we see that if we follow the words of Jesus and build our lives in the truth that he left us we will be called prudent. This as a sign of a wise life, since wisdom makes us live in a straight and pleasant way to God our father.

It is very common these days the desire of many to help themselves with motivational coaches or social psychologists; but this will only shepherd your soul without reaching the depth of touching and transforming your life along with spiritual growth.

In 2 Timothy 3:15 it tells us that we must reach that wisdom and more if we were instructed as children so that we have a sense of life that is what many seek.

Wisdom is available to all who ask in faith

Wisdom comes from God and he gives it to whoever asks for it (James 1: 5).

Since it is a blessing that comes from God, it is pure and kind, as well as having more characteristics such as being good and full of mercy which produces fruit (James 3:17).

Wisdom is a gift from God, and as we have mentioned, he gives it to everyone who asks for it, so we must seek it, ask it in prayer to the Lord; It will not come from nothing because we must believe that God who is good gives it to us.

Wisdom will be part of your life if sacred to God.
(Ecclesiastes 2:26) "For the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and joy, but the sinner gives the work of collecting and piling up, to give to the one who pleases God ...

In this way we see how he who lives pleasing God receives from everyone who with his work will bless the one who decides to continue pleasing God.

The wisdom of truth is more valuable than gold and precious stones because it helps us guide our life so that we please Christ.

The wisdom that is of the world is foolishness to God (1 Corinthians 3:19), which produces knowledge in some science but does not really fill people's lives and does not produce growth within them.

We should not estimate more the professional knowledge, since it will help us to have how to live in life but it will not lead us to live life with wisdom.

Only God and his wisdom will guide us on the right path, and so you will no longer feel alone or alone, something very common since everything that comes from God is good for man.

Wisdom is a great treasure that we can not ignore! Let's explore the word of God that is a mine full of precious pearls.

May God bless you today and always!
