Today we are forced to look at our value systems, to see if our pursuits are in the proper priority. We are 16 chapters and 16 verses in to this book of wisdom, and at this point you are aware of the fact that Solomon is taking the diamond of wisdom and looking at it from all angles. Here, in the middle of his treatment of wisdom, it’s as if he wants to make sure that you do not miss this point: Wisdom is to be valued above the thing you value the most. Since we know that wisdom is only found in Christ, then we know that a pursuit of wisdom is really a pursuit of Him. So, today I want to simply encourage you to take a look at your financial or material dreams, that house you want, the financial security you long for, and be reminded that as nice as that might be, your pursuit of wisdom and understanding is far better and beneficial than your pursuit of dreams that will only leave you wanting more. Get wisdom, get understanding, make the pursuit of Jesus Christ your number one priority.
