Proverbs 3:13-16
Happy (blessed) will be the person who first finds wisdom. Many look and search for days and years on end for a way to live a blessed life. I am quite certain that wisdom has been shown to many and they turn their head and run in the other direction to get away from the very thing they are searching for. Those who heed wisdom’s call, they will be blessed.
I know many people who are rich in possessions and position. They are well known, they are highly thought of. Recognized by many, but known by few. Their possessions help define their position. Nothing is out of their reach. They seem restless and relentless in their pursuit of joy and happiness. They seem to have it all, yet the pursuit never seems to end in their quest to find some kind of meaning in their lives. The inward storm of their souls is outwardly played out in the constant revolving door of new possessions and the unquenchable desire for another new position. These people in God’s economy are paupers. They need to be saved. Some of these folks will very likely be in many services tomorrow morning. We need to be praying today and tonight that their eyes will be opened and their hearts broken as they hear the preaching of God's word tomorrow.
