“For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.” Ecclesiastes 7:12
The pursuit for money is huge nowadays, but money cannot
make one’s soul rich. Divine wisdom however, satisfies the body, soul and
spirit. Therefore, whoever finds it, receives life.
When I read this post, it showed me why Solomon asked for wisdom above everything he could have picked from, simply because he understood that everything he had would last only for sometime but what he needed to last him a lifetime was wisdom, that only God could give. But many times people are so keen on only having the physical and material things of the earth, when they could have something even better, that lasts all eternity!
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteI really like this post, it helped me to understand that money is not all that we need and that is only temporary but instead we should ask God for wisdom because with wisdom we can conquer anything we put our mind on it.

Money has it's use, but it cannot bring total happiness. I used to admire so many celebrities, look through so many magazines and feel jealous I never had what they did. Now I see how naive I was!
ReplyDeleteGod has made me rich in wisdom, and now I can say I have true life and lack nothing because of Him!
