God’s Gold

openbible 940x320

Psalm 19:9-10 (NIV) 9  The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. 10  They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

Psalm 119:72 (NIV) The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

Psalm 119:127-128 (NIV) 127  Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold, 128  and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path.

Proverbs 8:10-11 (NIV) 10  Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11  for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Proverbs 3:13-14 (NIV) Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, 14  for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.

Proverbs 25:11 (NIV) A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

Find the gold.  Whatever happened to you in the past, and whatever is happening in your life now, look for the hidden blessing, the lesson to be learned, or the character trait to be forged.  Trust that, since God has allowed these experiences, somewhere there is gold for you.   Elizabeth George. (101 Quotable Christians)
