Proverbs 3:13-15
Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
I find today's scripture very provocative and difficult to accept intellectually, although my soul knows it to be true and my heart must submit to the Word Of God! I encourage you, too, to make your mind and heart dwell on these truths until they become more real to you than all the lies of contemporary advertising or lures of modern technology!
God Bless You!
