Bible Reading: Proverb 8,9; 2 Corinthians 3
“For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it” – Proverb 8:11 (KJV).
People often misplace their priority in life. This is as a result of wrong perception and wrong values. For most people, money is everything. Money answers all things so they pursue money with everything they’ve got and by all means. What they fail to understand is that there is more to life than money. Money can never be everything.
Most financial problems that people face are actually wisdom problem. Wisdom is the principal thing; it controls money and creates wealth. Wisdom enables one to live a good life. A person can have plenty of money but where wisdom is lacking such money cannot result to fulfilled life. Wisdom and understanding guarantee success in life. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding” – Proverb 9:10 (KJV). Anyone who does not fear God has no wisdom, and so cannot make the best out of life. Wisdom is profitable to direct. A man of wisdom lives an organized and coordinated life. He thinks beyond this present life, he makes plan for eternity. Christ in a man’s life is wisdom. “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption” – 1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV).
Everything in life; riches, position, authority, fame and destiny are best managed by wisdom. Wisdom controls everything. In all your getting get wisdom, in all your pursuits, pursue wisdom. Receive Jesus into your life and the wisdom of God will rule your life. God liberally gives wisdom to everyone that asks from him.
PRAYER: LORD, thank you for the gift of the wisdom in Christ Jesus.
