Knowledge from Above (Proverbs 20:15)

In the physical world, there are many riches. But many forget about the spiritual riches that we all have at our disposal.

"There is gold, and a multitude of pearls; but the lips of knowledge are a vase a preciousness [the most precious of all]." Proverbs 20:15, Amplified

Gold and pearls, or even rubies, can buy you whatever you want. But knowledge is so much more valuable than any bit of natural riches. Yes the Lord made the gold, pearls and rubies that we find in the earth, but He bestows upon us knowledge. These earthly minerals cannot compare with knowledge. "But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living. It cannot be purchased for gold, nor can silver be weighed for its price. It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir in precious onyx or sapphire. Neither gold nor crystal can equal it. Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, for the price of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold." (Job 28:12-13, 15-19, NKJV) True knowledge and wisdom come from our heavenly Father. All the riches in the world cannot compare with the wisdom and understanding and knowledge that the Lord gives.
