As I was sitting with the Lord this morning He began to stir up the passages below and bring them together. I pray you hear what the Spirit is speaking!
“So I counsel you to purchase gold perfected by fire. As wisdom increases, a great treasure is imparted, greater than many bars of refined gold. Wisdom is the most valuable commodity—so buy it! Revelation-knowledge is what you need—so invest in it!
But for those who have been chosen to follow Him, both Jews and Greeks, He is God’s mighty power, God’s true wisdom, and our Messiah. In Him you have been made extravagantly rich in every way. You have been endowed with a wealth of inspired utterance and the riches that come from your intimate knowledge of Him.
Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know Him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring. I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know Me more than I want burnt offerings. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
{Revelation 3:18; Proverbs 3:14; Proverbs 4:7; 1 Corinthians 1:24; 1 Corinthians 1:5; Hosea 6:3, 6; John 17:3}
