I wonder how much some of us would give up for silver or gold?
How many of us think wealth is more important than wisdom? Proverbs 8:10/11 says, "Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her."
I think that just about does this blog post. That's all that really needs to be said, because that pretty much sums it all up. Give me wisdom any day than riches. Can you imagine a stupid wealthy fool? I can tell you right now, the chances that one would end up with their money in tact is probably nil and zero. Being foolish will get one nowhere and it has absolutely no staying power whatsoever. Wisdom, on the other hand, will get one much further, because it is the glue that holds blessings together -- being blessed to be a blessing; gaining wisdom to give wisdom. Wisdom is exactly what is needed in order to go to extraordinary heights. Without it opportunities and growth are finite. I couldn't imagine a life of not getting all that God has for me. He has us all here for a reason and that purpose is clear: get wisdom and get it more abundantly so we can help others in the many ways the Lord wants us to. Thus, every last one of us are here to get wisdom first and move on out from there. Wisdom is the foundation to which abundance is built. Simple concept.
So get wisdom.
First.
Okay?
For everyone's sake, because wisdom is the real blessing.
