Day 134 – Proverbs Chapter 3:13-20

Published: Jan. 20, 2016, 4 p.m.

In Proverbs 1:20-33, Solomon describes wisdom as a woman. This happens again in Proverbs 3:13-18. There is a difference. In Proverbs 1, Wisdom is angry with evil people. They have refused her advice. In Proverbs 3, we read about the people who love Wisdom. Wisdom brings good things to them: long life, wealth and honor (verse 16). When we walk with Wisdom, our life is pleasant and beautiful (verse 17).

In verses 14-15, we see Wisdom compared to valuable objects. She is worth more than precious stones. Her value is more than silver or gold.

You can put your money in a bank. The bank will pay you an income. However, the bank is not as good as Wisdom. If you give your life to Wisdom, she will pay more than any bank. No bank can make your life longer, but Wisdom can give a long life. No bank can promise you a place in heaven, but Wisdom can promise this. No bank can make you right with God, but Wisdom can do this.
