precious pursuit

There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. Proverbs 20:15

There are a lot of treasures that a person can collect over a lifetime. And having these might be the pursuit of that person’s purpose. Burt really, the great enriching pursuit is the attainment of wisdom and knowledge. Ultimately it is rewarded in the pursuit of God, knowing Him, loving Him, living for Him. His knowledge is perfect. And when we love God’s wisdom we are kissed by precious bejeweled lips.

How is such a pursuit possible? It begins with wanting to seek God’s wisdom above all earthly endeavors. We seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all of life’s knowledge and understanding is added to the pursuit! Those who are devoted to that direction are wealthy indeed! We can know what is most important by starting at the source of all wisdom and knowledge: God Himself. Theology creates wisdom when done correctly.

And if we want it, God will give it. In fact, it is all there in two primary sources: The Word of God (Revelation) and the Spirit of God (Relationship). Part of the reason we should anchor in understanding scripture is that it is the revealed mind and will of God. Know God’s Word… Know God. And believers have the aid of the Spirit of God in synch with scripture to personally help us apply and understand wisdom. Those sources on our bookshelf of life are an unfathomable wealth in and of themselves! Blessed are those kissed by the jeweled lips of the knowledge of the Holy!
