It (wisdom) is more precious than pearls, it is more valuable than all expensive objects.
Proverbs 3:15
A diamond dealer was packing gemstones to send to India. Each diamond was carefully individually packaged. When he came to the final and most important point, he used the first three chapters of the Gospel of John. Thin paper was suitable for this.
A Hindu, for whom this gem was intended, at the same time received something that will be infinitely more valuable to him than the diamond it was wrapped around… a leaf from the Book of Life in which he found these words: “God has him “He loved the world so much that he gave up his only son (…)”
He was angry. He told many people about his discovery and kept asking himself, “How could I not have known this before?”
This word worked in his heart by the power of the Spirit of God.
“Certainly!” he said to himself, “that means ME… This greeting is for me.”
By faith he accepted it; he told others about it in such detail that a European missionary who came to the place expecting to find only pagans there found a large audience of Indian Christians.
Listen to the voice of God
Would you like to see the power of the word at work? Take the time to listen to God speak to you about this.
Through prayer we simply ask God to do His will. Here is a sample prayer: “Your word is precious and powerful to transform lives. Help me to understand it better, to meditate on it, and to let Your Spirit guide me. I want to see your glory wherever you lead me. In the name of Jesus. Amen.”
