Now THAT would get our attention, wouldn't it? If I set my heart right, however, I will be consistently seeking that which is free -- God's wisdom, His presence, time with family, and friends. Granted, even though my instincts tell me 'there is no free lunch' and 'free offers of stuff are usually too good to be true and involve a catch,' I'll still check out those things. Who doesn't want a free goodie?
Proverbs 8 talks about wisdom calling out and making herself available.
"Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is more precioius than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her."
Wisdom is good and always helpful.
"Blessed is the man who listens to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord.
But whoever fails to find me harms himself;
all who hate me love death."
Wow. Wisdom is a good friend to find, have, and keep!
