Proverbs 4
September 5th, 2009
Verse 7:
Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
This seems contrary to the story in Matthew 13:44 of the Parable of the Treasure. That man spent all he had on a treasure which is a metaphore for the Kingdom of Heaven. I’m not entirely sure that “wisdom is supreme” in light of this parable. It seems that the Kingdom of Heaven is supreme.
Though I have to wonder if getting wisdom would lead to finding the Kingdom of Heaven.
