Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
Proverbs 3:13-14
What do you think it would be like to be super rich? What would you do? I would get a place in Florida that is on the gulf where I would live in the winter. Because I'm a snowmobiler, though, I'd also have a corporate jet on hand that I can use to fly up to the Michigan UP, ride for the weekend, and then fly back down to Florida so I can sit by the pool.
That just sounds like the life to me!!! Ofcourse, I'll probably never be rich, so it will always just be a thought, ha.
Did you know God says that Wisdom is more valuable that being super rich? Why do you think He says that?
I believe He said that because Wisdom is eternal, while riches are temporary.
We could be the richest person on the planet, but when we die, we don't take any of our money or wealth with us. Whether we're rich or poor, we all die, and everything stays here. All the riches and wealth of this world is just temporary.
Wisdom, however, is eternal. Wisdom, by definition, is the ability to see life the way God sees it. If we can see life the way God sees it, and we can think the way He thinks, it will allow us to see His purpose for our life. If we can know and understand God's purpose for our life while we are alive here on earth, the results will last for eternity.
So, today, let's not get all caught up in our money and wealth, or the pursuit of it. Let's focus on our relationship with God. Let's ask Him daily for wisdom so we can continue to grow closer to Him, with eternal benefits far greater than all the riches of this world!
