Wisdom worth more than Gold?

How many times have you found yourself running in circles to get rich or pay bills or just have enough to get by?

Often? Have you considered that you just may be chasing the wrong things?

Pr 17:16 "Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?"

What activities are you engaged in to acquire wisdom worth more than gold or silver?

The 2nd Key to Fiscal Stewardship (c) is to Develop What You've Been Given. If you don't chase after wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, the money you do acquire will fall through the cracks. Better yet, it's like putting money in a purse with holes in it as Soloman wrote so long ago.

Pr 3:13-16 "Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious htan rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor."

Yes, Step 2 to Fiscal Stewardship (c) - Develop what you've been given. Seek wisdom. Seek Understanding. Seek Knowledge. Stop chasing your tail. Money comes and money goes, but once you know how you got it and how to use it, you'll have that knowledge forever.

Have a great Monday!
