Wisdom
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing
and benefits those who see the sun.
12 Wisdom is a shelter
as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
Wisdom preserves those who have it. Ecclesiastes 7:11-12
Money
is a huge discussion these days in churches, at work, in fellowship
with other people and that is because money plays such a prominent role
in our society. The funny thing is that money has always had its place
in this world, and is discussed many times in the Bible. In fact Jesus
at many points talks about money and even He states that you cannot
serve money and God. But what about wisdom? Why do we not talk about
wisdom and its impact on our lives? Wisdom can come from those who can
share what they have learned in their lives. Are we not paying
attention to those who have experienced life. Wisdom also comes from
reading God's Word. Are we not reading what God has given us as a
guidebook filled with wisdom? I am guessing that if we were to focus on
wisdom and making wise decisions, that our lives would be improved.
Maybe our lives would not be improved monetarily but spiritually for
sure and definitely our lives could be more rewarding. I think about
how money will be there for a while to shelter us as this scripture
says, but think about how much shelter wisdom can provide. Preserving
our lives with wisdom sounds a lot better than having a short-term
shelter of money. Get wise and see where it can lead you.
Have a great weekend.
