Proverbs 9:11-12 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.” (Proverbs 9:11, 12 NKJV)

He declares with authority the promise of long life to those who get wisdom and hold on to her. This promise is for both here in the physical and in the spiritual realm of eternity. This reveals that wisdom exponentially adds more accomplishing power to the time we have. Time is a limited currency of this physical dimension of life. Lack of wisdom puts a person at risk of squandering it. Spending so much time on trivial things of the world like a scoffer, while neglecting the precious matters of heaven, leaves you alone to bear it's tragic consequence.

In the ways of wisdom, we will be in constant awareness that time on earth is finite. It's like a vapor. When it's lost, it's gone for good. It can't be replenished. We have to be wise to spend time well.

Wisdom teaches us to spend it for matters of infinite value - temporal for eternal. Use it to build up treasures in heaven. Lord Jesus gives this instruction - “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV)

And I say, AMEN!
