    “…Though it cost all you have, get understanding.”

Proverbs 4:7b

 

“Get rich quick” schemes are everywhere.

Open your e-mail account and the offers are too good to be true (because they are!).

Go out to the snail-mailbox today and an envelope is emblazoned with the warning that waiting will diminish your opportunity to earn millions!

Lawyers get in on the act too.

Have you suffered from exposure to some product in your work career?

Is the IRS, Workers Comp or that guy who plowed into you trying to get away with something?

Just call 555-5555 and they promise to take away all your problems so you can spend the rest of your days in luxurious comfort.

It is easy for our flesh to gravitate to something for nothing, isn’t it?

But the Bible has the opposite advice (go figure?) when it comes to understanding.

It may not be ‘free’ and it is certainly not cheap but we are told, though it cost you all you have, it is very much worth getting.

That, in itself, is enough to dissuade most.

After all, if a “Dollar and a dream” is all it takes to win the lottery,

why should I pay such a high price to get understanding.

Well, to answer that question, listen to these dividends –  

Blessed are those who find wisdom,

    those who gain understanding,

  for she is more profitable than silver

    and yields better returns than gold.

   She is more precious than rubies;

    nothing you desire can compare with her.

  Long life is in her right hand;

    in her left hand are riches and honor.

  Her ways are pleasant ways,

    and all her paths are peace.

  She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her;

    those who hold her fast will be blessed.

Proverbs 3:13-18
