Title: What Is Your Greatest Need?
Text:
Proverbs 16:16 (ESV)
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
Observation:
A few days ago I was reading this scripture, and an amazing series of things happened. While I was meditating upon this thought, and focusing on the word "wisdom"; the song started playing on my iPad was this, "Take Your Burden to the Lord".
"1 If the world from you withhold of its silver and gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird -
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there."
Then I thought of this verse:
Matthew 6:25-26 (ESV)
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
I am persuaded and convinced that God wanted me to share this message of the high value of getting wisdom.
Proverbs 4:5-8 (ESV)
5 Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Lord, I am so thankful that You know our needs, and that You have promised that You would take care of our needs. O, Father, help us to learn to lean totally upon you for all of our needs.
Father, give us a heart that would desire to seek wisdom and insight above gold and silver. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
