Proverbs 3:13
As the holiday rush settles in, we are continuously plagued with finding "the perfect gift" for everyone. Will they like it? Will it fit? Did we forget someone? The questions seem to never end as we stress over making sure everyone on our list has a wonderful gift.
Solomon defines the perfect gift and the results above - happiness is assured to those who find wisdom and understanding. He values it above silver and gold in the following verse. Luckily, there is no price tag, no size or weight restrictions and the inventory is endless. But there is a cost - we must put forth the effort to seek God. It can't be purchased on-line or in a department store - God has the monopoly on the inventory. Yet, he is willing to freely share it with those who seek Him.
What a better gift to give someone you love than the experience of them getting to know Jesus as their personal savior? Share his love and elevate his message above the commercial themes. If you really want to celebrate the season in a way like never before, celebrate it with someone who has just found their Savior!
