Upper Room: Desiring Wisdom
Wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. - Proverbs 8:11 (NIV)
What do you desire? Does wisdom top your list? If I were honest with God and myself, I would have to admit that although wisdom is on my list, it isn’t the first thing. My immediate wishes are more along the lines of peaceful relationships, not to be cut off in rush hour, or a waterproof phone since my last one broke after getting wet at the pool. While there is nothing wrong with desiring those things, Proverbs 8:11 challenges my choices and makes me wonder: why is wisdom so much more desirable than anything else?
As we read the book of Proverbs, we learn quite quickly why wisdom is supreme: it knows that the path to life is found by keeping God at the center of all we do and following God’s commands. By doing this, we can stay on the path that is blessed by God and find peace in our relationships, patience for the shortcomings of others, and contentment with what God has given us. However, the greatest blessing is that this path leads to eternal life, and there is nothing more precious than that.
's Prayer
Merciful God, help us set our hearts on following the path of your wisdom. Guide us to experience the blessings you have for us. Amen.
