Golden Eggs

Wisdom can only be found by pursuing what is proven, universally applicable, and results in spiritual and material prosperity.


Proverbs 16
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!
Wisdom is the goose that lays the golden egg. Kill wisdom and you get brass eggs. I think most of us know that to say one has a lot of brass is to think of them as producing an imitation of the real thing. And, that is what we usually get from those who are putting more emphasis on form than on substance.

There are places where wisdom is valued. They are usually cultures who have not bought into the idea that all change is progress. In fact, how can there be progress if one is reaching for something that is undefined? What you get is change but not progress. Progress can only be achieved by knowing what is true, where you want truth to take you and how you are going to get there. Anyone who works from any definition other than truth will end up with a reality that has no foundation in substance or reality. Wisdom can only be found by pursuing what is proven, universally applicable, and results in spiritual and material prosperity. That is where relativism can never take us. . It is where the Word of God does take us.


Life Instructions from the Past
Proverbs 16
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life.
18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.
20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.
