Proverbs 20:15 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.” (Proverbs 20:15 NKJV)

He gives us insight with the importance of possessing knowledge. It is easier to catch the beauty and value of gold and precious stones. They indeed provide instant gratification and feed intense desire for vanity. They are invaluable, that generations can benefit its legacy of wealth. These gems can last from generation to generations, indeed. They adorn and give physical beauty to those who possess them. But, they can be a source of envy and quarrel. Many families are broken as heirs wrestle amongst each other to get hold such precious heirlooms. Yes, precious it is indeed, but it won't last forever. It is still temporary! Scripture reminds: "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV)

Those gems are precious, but God's words declared by lips that speak knowledge is priceless, none compares. Knowledge comes in the gift of wisdom that God deposits in our hearts. As we look upon Him in reverent fear by faith in Christ Jesus, He who is the Almighty and the Creator, He gifts us with wisdom (Proverbs 2:6). That is so we, who are strangers in the world, can live victorious by the knowledge of Him and His Words.

Yes, through knowledge of Him leads every child of God by faith in Jesus to the unseen - that is life in godliness and joyful welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is written: “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 1:3, 5, 8, 10-11 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
