Proverbs 16:16
16How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!
Many
would not agree with King Solomon's statement. But within his own
life, King Solomon demonstrated the principle. When King Solomon took
over the thrown from his father David, he prayed to God and asked for
what? He asked for wisdom on how to lead the kingdom. And what was the
Lord's response? Because this is all you have asked for I will grant you
even greater. God's wisdom expands beyond money and wealth. Many
people, including Queen Sheba were impressed with the wisdom given to
King Solomon by the Lord. And because of the wisdom, men and women gave
generously of their own wealth to King Solomon. In Proverbs 17:16 the
Word states Of what use is money in the hands of a fool, since he has no
desire to get wisdom? So if you do not seek God's wisdom's, running
after money will do you no good. You will loose it all anyway. But if
you seek the wisdom of the one who possesses everything, the Lord
Almighty, then He will teach you what you need to know, how to live a
peaceful and loving life in Him, equip you to help others and give you
the ideas that will generate wealth in and for the kingdom of God.
Anything apart from the Lord is temporary. So if anyone has obtained
money without God's wisdom, rest assured, just as the Word says, it's in
the hands of a fool.
