The Proverb Challenge: Day 8

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

- Proverbs 8:11 KJV

Wisdom is far better than wealth says King Solomon. For a world that is always materialistic in nature, Wisdom is the only way out. The difference between the foolish and wise is Wisdom. The foolish always think money is everything but the wise knows that Wisdom is everything.

Wealth can be lost, but Wisdom will always remain. The value of Wisdom is more than wealth. While it is good to desire wealth, Wisdom should come first. Desire Wisdom and all the wealth you seek will come along. The world is in poverty not because there is shortage of money. It is because there is absence of Wisdom.

Where there is an understanding heart, and willingness to receive the truth in love, wisdom is valued above silver and gold.

The best thing a man should desire is Wisdom. A child of God must desire Wisdom. What makes you wise is not the amount of money you have but the Wisdom in you.

You can't have Wisdom in you and not be great. Wisdom is the path to greatness. Seek Wisdom, desire it so much. In it, you will find all the good things that you seek.

Main Point: What makes you wise is not the money you have but the Wisdom in you

When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
