Proverbs 20:15 - Wisdom is True Treasure

Proverbs 20:15

There is gold and abundance of costly stones,
but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

Lesson Summary

  • True treasure isn’t always gold or jewels—it’s wisdom and knowledge.
  • Proverbs 20:15 tells us that “the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.” That means knowing what is right and sharing wisdom from God is more valuable than anything money can buy.
  • Jesus is the greatest treasure of all, and He gives us wisdom through the Holy Spirit.
  • The Holy Spirit helps us make good choices, learn from our mistakes, and see what really matters.
  • Just like Greybobby and Betty needed help on their journey, we need Jesus to guide us every day. When we trust Him, He helps us grow wise and strong in our hearts.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for being our true treasure—more valuable than gold or jewels.
Just like Greybobby and Betty had to trust their guide, help us to trust Jesus and follow Your wisdom in every adventure of life.
Let the Holy Spirit lead us away from temptation and toward truth, so we don’t chase after the wrong things.
Give us courage to stand for what is right and hearts that seek after You above all else.
In Jesus' Name we pray,
Amen.
