Wisdom’s Treasure – Wisdom Speaks

by Karin Syren

Choose my instruction rather than silver,
And knowledge rather than pure gold.
For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
Nothing you desire can compare with it.
Proverbs 8:10, 11 NLT

For he who finds me finds life,
and obtains favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 8:36 NAS

When panning for gold, seeking the precious amidst the ordinary, a prospector looks for nuggets, promising lumps of all sizes. His eye seeks morsels which, when assayed (valued in the current world economy) and refined, will produce something of greater value than the original lump. In other words, he looks for the hidden promise.
