Get Wisdom

‘How much better is it to get wisdom than gold.’ Few truly believe this, as shown by how much more people seek wealth than wisdom.

Humanity often fails to recognize the true worth of wisdom and understanding. These treasures cannot be found in the depths of the earth or the sea. They cannot be purchased with gold, silver, or any precious stones. Their value far surpasses that of jewels, fine gold, coral, or pearls – wisdom is more precious than rubies or anything material we may desire (Job 28:14-19).

Wisdom is hidden from all living creatures and cannot be discovered by human effort alone. It comes from one source only – God Himself (Job 28:20-23).

Get Wisdom

‘Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.’ This is a Biblical command to obey God’s Word that will give us wisdom and understanding and we must never depart from His truth.

‘Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.’ In preserving and loving God’s Word, the enemy will not be able to steal these Truths from our hearts as described by the parable of the sower (Matt. 13:3-9, explained in verses 18-23). We cannot create our own beliefs concerning His Word and ‘cherry-pick’ only that which is acceptable, we must take into account in context which commands were given to whom and when He is talking to Israel as a nation or to Christians. Anything relating to our behaviour and sin, whether Old or New Testament, is still applicable, but things about the Jews (Israel) and the law of Moses with regards to governing Israel, her sabbaths and feasts and rituals have all been fulfilled in the ascension of Jesus Christ as we see in the book written to the Galatians.
