Worth more than we know

Job 28:13,15-16 is the focal passage for Step 3 of “Look to God for Wisdom” from LifeWay’s Explore the Bible lesson series. Job describes wisdom’s invaluable worth. To express incalculable worth we say things like, “I can never pay you back,” or “I can’t say thank you enough.” Lessie Criss learned something from her grandfather that had incalculable value. What was it?

Two CMU students discovered something “worth more than money”. What wisdom did they learn? What made it so valuable?

We say, for example, that home, family and people are worth more than money, but wisdom is worth even more than these. What aspect of God makes wisdom from Him so valuable?

Exercising wisdom yields great benefits. Have members look up the following verses and name the benefits of Godly wisdom.

Happiness (Prov 3:13)
Life (Prov 3:18), longer life (Prov 9:11)
Protection (Prov 4:6)
Good judgment (Prov 8:12),
Repentance, salvation (Eccl 7:12)
Success (Eccl 10:10)
Peace (Prov 3:17)
Patience (Prov 19:11)
Prosperity (Prov 19:8)
