The Cost Is Everything
Proverbs 4:7 NKJV
[7] Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” — Proverbs 4:7 NIV
Get Wisdom–though it costs you everything. Get understanding. Proverbs 1:20 NIV declares, “Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;” We live in an information rich era. Although information is readily available—Wisdom, the application of information—is priceless.
It takes Wisdom to apply the Principles and Precepts of the Word of God. It takes understanding to appropriately discern your season. In fact, according to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “Wisdom” is ḥāḵmâ (H2451), which means, “Skill (in war), wisdom (in administration), shrewdness, wisdom, prudence (in religious affairs), wisdom (ethical and religious).”
Wisdom is skilled Warfare. In most parts of the world, almost anyone can access the Word of God. Though God’s Word is readily available, unpacking and applying its revelation—is priceless. Anyone can access the information and read the Word of God, but understanding the Principles and Precepts of God is precious.
For Matthew 7:6 NKJV declares, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” Wisdom is precious. Choose not to cast Wisdom before swine for they will render it useless and turn again and tear you to pieces.
Choose to sow your “pearls” wisely. ‘Pearls’ are Principles and Precepts accumulated through learned experience developed over time. Pearls are the Rhema Word of God revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. Pearls are precious and Wisdom is priceless. Sow your pearls as God leads. Sow in Wisdom. Sow freely. Sow often. Discern where you’re sowing. Discern who you’re sowing into. Discern your season. Discern your “sow” for it costs you everything.
Matthew 13:45-46 NKJV
[45] “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, [46] who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it."
