"Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her." Proverbs 8:10-11
I read these verses this morning and came to a halt, because I realized that this, unfortunately, seems to be a foreign concept in today's society. Instruction, knowledge, wisdom, all things that seem to be over shadowed with the idea that I need to have the most money, or the most "toys!" I see this in churches today as well as secular society. Looking though at "society," some of the highest paid TV personalities are the cast of Jersey Shore, the men and women selling themselves on The Bachelor, Charlie Sheen. These are who have "made it." They have found worth, and fortune through their money and fame; however, they lack discernment, judgement, instruction and knowledge. So many are missing the big picture: Wisdom's worth far exceeds any monetary value people find in entertainment, money, jobs...
May the Lord, instruct the Fultons, and may we always remember to seek wisdom, for it's worth beats a new car, vacation, furniture any day!
