THINGS OF GREAT VALUE

(Who wouldn't like to have this blue stone anyway )

The other day, i was leisurely talking with some of my friends on the most expensive things one has ever bought for self or for others. There's a sharp differences in treating an expensive cloths or jewellery or anything with a high cost to the rest of the cheap ones. For example, ornamental fixation has become really visible. Be it in a celluloid reel or real world, often we hear of celebrities competing on who's engagement or wedding ring is most exquisite or most expensive. Well... some have worked hard and fully deserve to have it for themselves, but wander how many rings do they have to change for each overnight divorces and swapping. One of the modern ad says, 'diamonds are women's best friend'... Definitely Countries go to war over them. They're the fixation of many a miner and pick. They're relatively small, but they always gather a crowd. From the world's largest (512 carat in the Crown Jewels of England) to a minute speck mounted on a wedded couple's ring finger. It is considered the nearest thing to "priceless" we have. This is what Max Lucado ones said, Not so, says the Bible! Four things are of greater value than a sea of diamonds, a river of gold, or a mountain of silver. 

They are:
Wisdom
" . . . for it is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire compares with it."
God's Words & Works

" . . . they are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold."
An Excellent Wife
" . . . for her worth is far above jewels."
Personal Reputation
"A good name is to be more desired than great riches; favor is better than silver and
gold."
Most of the people have been blessed with some of these. Bible clearly mention that
much of every day should be spent to protect these treasures, and with good cause. Throughout time and history, the enemies of God have deliberately attempted to discredit and destroy these four because they are of inestimable value which is much much more valuable than anything the world can give. Many a times, how easy it is for us to be swapped by the worldly symbolic attention that we draw. No doubt, we have to safeguard these divine gifts so that the unseen thieves don't strike us down offguard.
