“Worth More than Gold”
September 8, 2024
Pastor Josiah Mitchener
We see Gold as the standard of perfection, wealth and immunity to decay. What is MORE valuable than gold?
Psalm 19
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
Proverbs 8:10-11
Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. / For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her.
Psalm 119:72
The law from Your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
Psalm 119:103
How sweet are Your words to my taste—sweeter than honey in my mouth!
Proverbs 3:13-15
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding, / for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold. / She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her.
