Proverbs Experiment: Day Eight

Oops! It's getting harder to keep up!

Proverbs Chapter Eight:

Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge over pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can be compared with it. (vs. 10-11)

These verses totally remind me of this song that we used to do back when I was in college, and even when I interned in Tucson:

Lord, you are more beautiful than silver
Lord, you are more precious than gold
Lord, you are more beautiful than diamonds
And nothing I desire compares with You

Ha, that brings back memories of old school songs we used to do back then. At the college I went to, we had chapel every Wednesday and Thursday - attendance was mandatory - and then we had Tuesday night dorm devotions, which was not mandatory. The chapels had some good speakers, but the music was pretty stale. Tuesday nights, though, had worship bands made up of students, or worship bands from other churches, and it was much more rockin'. I enjoyed Tuesday nights much more than Wednesday or Thursday. Of course, now if you played those songs in church, it would seem to be more like the chapel back then than the worship we have now. Funny how perspective changes over fifteen years.

What does that really have to do with the passage above? Nothing. But to be honest, there's not a lot in this chapter that I haven't already talked about before. :^)
