Greetings Desiring People...
"Take my instruction and not silver...and knowledge rather than choicest gold...for wisdom is better than jewels; and all desirable things cannot compare with her." (Pro-Verbs 8:10-11)
Psalm 8 is a picture of this thing called wisdom...personified...in the form of a female. Some say it is a picture of Christ (Psalm 8:22-31). When I read it...I think of Jesus.
Wisdom is defined here as...chokmah (khok-man)- wisdom in a good sense; skillful wisdom, wisely, wit from the word chukam (khaw-kam= to be wise (in mind, word, act), exceeding, teach wisdom.
When you COMPARE anything in this world that you desire...to WISDOM...there is NO COMPARISON. Silver, Gold, Jewels...are things that we consider to be valuable...but compared to WISDOM...compared to KNOWING JESUS...there is NO COMPARISON.
We use to sing a chorus...that we still do..."Lord...you are...more precious than silver...Lord...you are...more costly than gold...Lord you are...more beautiful than diamonds...and nothing I desire compares to you."
My pastor...Ronnie Meek...says..."It's not WHAT you know...it's WHO you know." Well...it is WISE to KNOW...Jesus...true wisdom. Not just KNOW about Him...but to KNOW Him.
Love and Knowing Kisses
