Daniel 3: 13-30, Daniel 4: 1-18, 2 Peter 2, Proverbs 20: 15-24
Proverbs 20: 15, 22 (ESV)
“There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips
of knowledge are a precious jewel…Do not say, “I will repay evil”; wait for the
Lord, and he will deliver you.”
Verses 15 and 22 from Proverbs 20 stood out for me in Day
332 Bible readings. I love jewelry and I have spent a lot of money on it, but I
think Solomon is right. Knowledge is like a jewel and more precious. I have
been fortunate in life in that I was able to spend money both on knowledge and
on jewelry, but money spent on knowledge was definitely worth more than money
spent on jewelry.
Solomon repeats what is mentioned so many times in the
Bible. Only God can judge people. It might take awhile to see God’s judgement
on people, but it does come eventually but not necessarily in the way we want. God
has his own timing and his own way of judging people, and from personal
experience it will always satisfy you.
