Proverbs 16:16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.” (Proverbs 16:16 NKJV)

He emphasizes that we must resolve to choose wisdom, above all. That is of course wisdom that begins in the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 1:7). Definitely not wisdom of the world, as it is absurdity in the sight of God (1 Corinthians 3:19). Gold, silver and all material wealth are merely shackles of temporal vanities in this dimension of time and space. While wisdom leads to knowledge and understanding of God's word - the truth that sets us free. Understanding opens us the door to salvation by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, which leads us to eternal bliss in the realm of timelessness.

We are on a journey, as passers-by, in this empty world of desires and wants. While here sojourning, when we camp in HIS grace through faith in the finished work of our risen Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, we have sufficiency of all that we need. In Him, we have access to all the resources of heaven for everything we need in this life to sustain us towards the life to come. Apostle Paul exhorts ALL who believed with this reassuring declaration and prayer: "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen." (Philippians 4:19, 20 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
