Today's Verse: Proverbs 16:16 (KJV)

Friday, September 16, 2005

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
— Proverbs 16:16 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What are the greatest riches in life? Well surely they are not silver and gold. Of infinitely greater value is wisdom, which helps us understand what is valuable, what is true, what is worthy of our heart, and what is not.

My Prayer...

Heavenly Father, God of the Ages and Giver of every good and perfect gift, please bless me with holy and practical wisdom so that I can more fully know how you have blessed me and so that I can be the blessing to others that you want me to be. In Jesus' name. Amen.
