Proverbs 16:16
How
much better is it to get wisdom than gold!
and
to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
Sometimes money can be tempting to put
on the throne of our lives. We may agree
to certain commitments just because we are getting paid for them. This could lead to missing the gathering of
the brethren, or getting to bed too late to be close with our husbands, or
being gone when our children are at home without us. The wisdom the Lord wants to give us is more
valuable than gold and understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. This means that money alone should not
determine our commitments or priorities.
Wisdom will evaluate the value of a pursuit or commitment and when we
obey wisdom we are richer than we would have been no matter what dollar figure is
affected. Seek not to be rich. Seek to listen and obey Him.
