Praise the Lord everybody, the worlds season of Thanksgiving is here, but for us believers every day is a day of thanksgiving. I love what God is doing in my life and at my church(FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST HOLINESS USA),
The following is just a little food for thought.
In the world they talk about getting many things like, getting rich, getting paid, getting smart, getting shorty and getting jiggy, but the the word of God says "...in all your getting get UNDERSTANDING."(Proverbs 4:7)
PROVERBS 3:13-24
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Verse 14 talks about merchandise, merchandise being a commodity or goods worth selling or giving away that are needed or desired by others. If we have the merchandise of wisdom and understanding they are to be more desired than silver and gold. Verse 22 talks about wisdom and understanding being a "grace to thy neck". In the world you see people trying to out do one another with these ornate chains, medallions and diamonds to show how prosperous they are.
God says wisdom is your gold and understanding your silver. What good is it to have material wealth if you don't have the wisdom and understanding to maintain it. Sometimes we get fixated on the golden crowns with jewels mentioned in Revelations but without the spiritual "bling" of Wisdom and Understanding we can forget about ever receiving any golden crowns.
Next time you find yourself in church singing "I'm gonna wear a crown" ask yourself if your wearing wisdom and understanding first.
