Proverbs 17

5 Jewels, 1 Story

We talk about wisdom in the WORD.

We have access to so much wisdom in the WORD, we are easily spoiled, overfed, to the point we take for granted and do not even value, treasure, appreciate and hold dear this great wisdom we have calling us from these pages every day. Wisdom calls out, “Come to me.”

When we do come we often come to the easy pickings, to find the gleanings at the corners of the fields where they were left for us, the foreigner, gleanings from the ground. There are even more treasuries buried beyond, in the depth of the field, nuggets most will never discover because they only venture to the edges of the field at most and never go in days at a time to look deeper and learn the contours of the land, to find those special hidden lodes, those secret watering holes.

Here are just a few rare nuggets.

The crucible for silver🥈 and the furnace for gold,🥇 but Yahweh tests the heart ❤.

Evil will never leave the house 🏠 of one who pays back evil for good.

Why should fools have money 💰 in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it?

Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin; whoever builds a high gate 🔒 invites destruction.

A discerning person keeps wisdom 💡 in view, but a fool’s eyes 👀 wander to the ends of the earth.

Proverbs 17:3‭, ‬13‭, ‬16‭, ‬19‭, ‬24

Paul also wrote words to Timothy of additional wisdom and insight, proverbs, parables, paroimia and paronomasia. There are treasures beyond imagination waiting to be discovered.

Wisdom is calling.

Let’s answer that daily call!
