Proverbs 3:9-15       

The Hope Diamond is displayed at the Natural History Museum of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. and is worth an estimated $250 million dollars. The 45.52 carat, deep-blue diamond is considered the world’s most expensive piece of jewelry and is kept in an impenetrable enclosure protected by armed guards. If you had to choose right now between owning the world’s most precious diamond and walking in the Lord’s wisdom, which would you choose?

King Solomon faced a similar decision. As a new king weighing what to ask of the Lord, he sought a wise and discerning heart instead of great wealth or fame. As a result, the Lord made him the wisest person on the earth (1 Kings 3:9-12; 4:30-31).

We tend to assign worth based on monetary value, but no price tag can be placed on wisdom. You cannot reach out and touch wisdom or purchase it with your credit card.

Wisdom is a precious and priceless gift made available to all who desire and seek it.
