For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it. – Ecclesiastes 7:12
Some Americans live with a quiet reality most in the world do not enjoy… having enough money! Money solves many problems. However, you may have discovered it does not solve ALL of them.
There are plenty of situations where money is worthless, and knowledge is priceless.
For example, a big budget can facilitate a war, yet only wisdom can broker peace.
The journey of a wisdom seeker is the journey of a God seeker. The very essence of God’s character is Truth. As you invite Him ever deeper into your life, supernatural understanding permeates your thinking and behavior. His Spirit transforms everyone and everything it touches.
Followers of Christ are familiar with the reality of God’s transforming power. “If you abide in my word, you are my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32).
Wisdom in life’s circumstances, including handling your finances, is the result of acquaintance with God.
“Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding” (Psalm 111:10).
It is true for both people and nations! Good financial management provides a level of security, but peace depends on gaining understanding through a relationship with God.
