SteemChurch:What can be more valuable than gold?
The word of God always surprises us by teaching us things different from what we believe, and more now that the majority seeks to be or do many things to have material positions that for many is their security; but we God's children look for another kind of treasure.

Wisdom is named in the Bible as more valuable than gold and precious stones (Proverbs 8:11), and nothing that we can have material will be compared to the value of wisdom.
We as children of God must go in search of true wisdom, since from it comes the strength of the Christian (Ecclesiastes 7:19), we must also bear in mind the following characteristics that she has.
First, where does wisdom come from ?:
According to the word in Job 28:28 the wisdom comes from the fear of the Lord, which gives us the light to respect him and always please him, this is the only way to have a happy and correct life.
Wisdom comes from experience:
We have always heard that gray hair does not come alone and together with wisdom, this is not far from the word of God since in Job 32: 7 we see how wisdom grows along with life experiences.

Wisdom brings you closer to the truth:
In Hosea 14: 9 it teaches us that wisdom gives us the understanding of arriving at the ways of God which are perfect for our life. If we are obedient to it, we will not fall into bad places, because that is why we will be just before the Lord.
Wisdom makes us prudent people:
In Matthew 7:24 we see that if we follow the words of Jesus and build our lives in the truth that he left us, we will be called prudent. This as a sign of a wise life, since wisdom makes us live in a straight and pleasant way to God our father.
The word of God is the source of Wisdom:
It is very common these days the desire of many to help themselves with motivational coaches or social psychologists; but this will only shepherd your soul without reaching the depth of touching and transforming your life along with spiritual growth.
In 2 Timothy 3:15 it tells us that we must reach that wisdom and more if we were instructed as children so that we have a sense of life that is what many seek.

Wisdom produces fruits of blessing: First wisdom comes from God and he gives it to whoever asks for it (James 1: 5).
Since it is a blessing that comes from God, it is pure and kind, as well as having more characteristics such as being good and full of mercy which produces fruit (James 3:17).
Wisdom is a gift from God, and as we have mentioned, he gives it to everyone who asks for it, so we must seek it, ask it in prayer to the Lord; It will not come from nothing because we must believe that God who is good gives it to us.
We also see how God promises the man who knows how to please him (Ecclesiastes 2:26), in this way we see how he who lives pleasing God receives from everyone who with his work will bless the one who decides to continue pleasing God.
Conclusion
Real wisdom is more valuable than gold and precious stones because it helps guide our lives so that we will please God and be happy.
The wisdom that is of the world is foolishness to God (1 Corinthians 3:19), which produces knowledge in some science but does not really fill people's lives and does not produce growth within them.
We should not estimate more the professional knowledge, since it will help us to have how to live in life but it will not lead us to live life with wisdom.
Only God and his wisdom will guide us on the right path, and so you will no longer feel alone or alone, something very common since everything that comes from God is good for man.
1-2 Only God can give us wisdom,
because only he has it.
Only God can count
the sand of the sea,
the raindrops
and the eternity of time.
3 Only God can measure
the height of the sky,
the width of the earth
and the depth of the sea.
4 Before creating all things,
God created wisdom.
5 The teachings of God
they are the source of wisdom,
and she teaches us to obey
his eternal commandments.
"13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by good conduct your works in wise meekness. 14But if you have bitter jealousy and rivalry in your heart, do not boast or lie against the truth. 15This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, animal, diabolical, 16for where there is jealousy and rivalry, there is disturbance and every perverse work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, kind, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.
