For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. — Ecclesiastes 7:12 KJV
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it. — Ecclesiastes 7:122 NIV
Thought and Reflection
There are many ways to ensure our future. Wisdom is a better investment than money because it can protect us from uncertain futures and Godly wisdom can keep us away from the ungodly consequences of dumb or ungodly actions.
God’s wisdom is the most important thing because it teaches us that there is no solid future if we don’t keep our eyes on God.
My Prayer
O Lord God, I desire to be wise in your ways but innocent in the ways you choose. Forgive me for my sometimes foolish and rebellious actions. Your Spirit leads me in the paths of justice, truth, and righteousness. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
