Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? — Proverbs 17:16 KJV
Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it? — Proverbs 17:16 NIV
Bible Verse Reflection
What is more important to you than money or wisdom? Take a look at our passage. The money that is not wise is useless. It won’t be utilized to the fullest extent and it will eventually disappear in the hands of someone who is ignorant. Similar to Solomon instead of pursuing fame or riches, let’s focus on godly wisdom and all the other things will take care of themselves.
My Prayer
Dear Lord, grant me the insight to discern what is important to me to do using my time, effort as well as my money. I ask You to bless me with Your divine wisdom to enable me to put my energy into the things that are truly meaningful and live my life for Your glory. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
