May 26, 2017: SOAP #2731: Proverbs 1-3; Romans 7

Scripture:  Proverbs (NIV) 3:13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, 14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.

Observation:   I get advertisement weekly about places to invest money.   Banks advertise their interest rates.  Investment companies advertise the rate of growth for their various funds.   Yet no matter how high the interest rate, no matter how great the return, King David told his son Solomon something was more profitable than investing in silver or than holding gold.    

Application:  Wisdom and understanding—that is where the real value in life can be found.  Wisdom and understanding help me with the true value of things in my life.  Wisdom and understanding not only help me obtain needed resources, they help me properly utilize the resources I already have.     

Prayer:   Jesus, I am thankful that you have become wisdom for me. (1Corinthians 1:30) Indeed, you are more precious than silver and more valuable than gold.  Amen
