It is a common statement through the centuries from the older generation about the younger: “They don’t know the value of things.” However, in my very cursory research, the older generation doesn’t do much better.
God inspired the writers of Proverbs to enlighten His children as to what has the most value.
Proverbs 8:10
Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;
Answer these four questions:
- How do you value things?
- What hour of TV is of more value than Bible Study?
- What recreation is of more value than prayer?
- When is the broad road more relevant than the narrow road?
Use us, Lord, and make us humble,
Rescue us from foolish pride;
And when we begin to stumble,
Turn our thoughts to Christ who died.
When figuring out your assets, do you include all that God has given to you?
Give it some thought.
