For wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
Proverbs 8:11 (NKJV)
Solomon tells us in Proverbs 8:11 that nothing we want in life can match wisdom, which is more valuable than rubies. Given that rubies are among the costliest and highly prized gemstones in the world, the contrast is startling. Wisdom, however, surpasses even such richness.
We frequently find ourselves pursuing things that appear desirable, such as comfort, relationships, success, money, and status. But as the text makes clear, none of these ambitions compare to God’s wisdom.
Wisdom is Better than Rubies
A profound comprehension of God’s will, the wisdom to live according to
His truth, and the capacity to live with grace and discernment are all components of wisdom from above, which goes beyond simple intelligence or knowledge.
Ask God to give you His insight in every circumstance as you start your day. God’s wisdom is always accessible to those who inquire, whether you are making choices
, engaging with people, or dealing with difficulties.
What is More Precious than Rubies
Think about your desires. Do you spend more time focusing on the enduring value of wisdom or on acquiring material possessions? Let Proverbs 8:11 serve as a reminder to us to prioritize wisdom.
Think for a moment about the goals you have set for yourself. How can you better match your goals with God’s will and wisdom for your life? God’s wisdom helps us live a happy, contented life that is based on Christ’s love. Wisdom, indeed, is more precious than rubies.
Prayer
Thank You, Lord, for bestowing wisdom, which is more valuable than rubies or anything we could ever hope for. Please help me to prioritize seeking Your advice.
