The Bible is a perennial steady seller. But only people who seek and search for it as a hidden treasure (4) find wisdom. Whoever finds wisdom, wisdom protects them and guards their course (8). Wisdom will save them from the ways of wicked men who have left the straight paths, who delight in doing wrong, whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways (12~15).

If we accept wisdom, then we will understand what is right, just, and fair -- every good path. For wisdom will enter our heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to our soul (10) like the true vine and the branches (John 15:5).

If we seek wisdom, we will walk in the ways of the good and live in the land (20, 21). But the wicked will be cut off from the land (22).


Application: Father, thank you for giving me wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Help me to store them up in my heart and repent my wickedness.
One Word: Value and seek God's wisdom
