Our wisdom for today is Proverbs 20:15:
“There is an abundance of gold and rubies, but lips of knowledge are a rare treasure.”
In today’s world, it’s easy to find wealthy neighborhoods. Drive through certain areas, and you’ll see million-dollar homes and luxury cars. The United States alone boasts over 22 million millionaires. Material wealth is visibly abundant and easily recognizable.
However, wisdom is not as readily apparent. You can’t drive through a neighborhood and pinpoint who possesses true knowledge and understanding. Unlike wealth, which can be displayed through physical possessions, wisdom is an intangible quality. It resides within and reveals itself through thoughtful words and actions.
Proverbs 20:15 reminds us that gold and rubies are valuable, but true wisdom is rarer and more precious. Lips that speak wisdom are a treasure because they offer guidance, insight, and understanding that material wealth cannot provide.
Shiny things are everywhere, but only wisdom makes a lasting impact.
