WISDOM IS A PRICELESS TREASURE

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly.”

Proverbs 3:13–18 NLT

TODAY’S THOUGHT

In these few verses, Solomon paints a beautiful picture of what life looks like when it’s guided by wisdom. He shows us that wisdom is not just a good idea—it’s a priceless treasure that touches every area of life.

1. Wisdom Brings Joy

“Joyful is the person who finds wisdom… happy are those who hold her tightly.”

When we walk in God’s wisdom, joy naturally follows. Wisdom helps us make right choices, avoid regret, and live in alignment with God’s will. True happiness doesn’t come from having more—it comes from living with understanding and walking in truth.

2. Wisdom Brings Prosperity

Solomon writes, “Wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.”

Wisdom produces lasting success. It’s not just about money or possessions—it’s about living with purpose, making good decisions, and building a life that honors God. Prosperity without wisdom fades quickly, but wisdom leads to blessing that endures.

3. Wisdom Is Precious

“Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.”

Wisdom is rare and valuable. In a world filled with loud opinions and endless information, God’s wisdom is often the quiet voice that must be sought after. We don’t stumble into wisdom by accident—we pursue it through prayer, Scripture, and humility before God.

4. Wisdom Is Satisfying

Solomon says, “Her ways are satisfying.”

Many people search for satisfaction in possessions, pleasure, or position—but never find it. Real satisfaction comes from walking in God’s wisdom. His ways bring peace, fulfillment, and contentment that the world can’t provide.

When you look at these four qualities—joy, prosperity, preciousness, and satisfaction—remember this:

The New Testament tells us that Christ Himself has become for us the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:30).

That means all the wisdom Solomon described is found in Jesus. When we surrender to His lordship, His wisdom lives in us. Every decision, every challenge, and every need can be guided by His Spirit.
