More precious

"Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, for the price of wisdom is above rubies." Job 28:17,18

The fear of God Job had led him to acquire wisdom. Even when he was tested by the fire, he never blasphemed against God. For this reason, He was able to have his family and wealth back in double.

Much knowledge is nothing without wisdom. The atomic bomb inventor had much knowledge, but lacked wisdom.

Seek

"The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God." Psalms 14:2

God knows those who seek Him, those who truly desire to have an intimate marvellous relationship with Him. And He knows the hypocrites very well too, those who only desire to show off but their hearts are far from His purposes.

Hated

"I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world." John 17:14

The Word of God transformed us into new creatures, fulfilled in happiness and goodness. For this reason, those who are still in their old nature, who don't know the One responsible for our changes, hate us.

The root

"A man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous cannot be moved." Proverbs 12:3

The human being looks for ways to feel secure, to the point of even doing what's wrong. But those who live by faith, have the Lord as their eternal Rock. They will always be secure and no one will ever touch them.

Uncalled

"In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise." Proverbs 10:19

When one speaks too much, one end up speaking of what is uncalled for. That's why it's better to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth. What does that really mean?

Desires

"The nightmares of the wicked come true; what the good people desire, they get." Proverbs 10:24

When there's total trust in God, He satisfies the desires of our hearts.

Impossible

"No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it." Mark 10:27

There are moments in anyone's life, that it doesn't matter how capable they are, they're inevitably clueless. That's when they need to appeal to God, the only One who can deal with the impossible.
