Scripture
“How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!”
–Proverbs 16:16
Devotion
What good is it to gain the world and lose our souls? So many people desire material possessions, but these things shouldn’t be our primary motivation to wake up every morning and go about our day. Comparing ourselves to others only leads to dissatisfaction. It’s a thirst that no amount of money can satisfy. However, there is something much more valuable than the most luxurious fabric, car, or mansion, and that is wisdom. I believe God doesn’t want us to live in poverty but to be rich in spirit, regardless of our bank account balance. Can we become wealthy in wisdom by trusting God more than anything else and by learning His teachings and commands for our lives?
The value of wisdom surpasses that of material wealth. While gold and silver can provide temporary satisfaction, wisdom leads to lasting fulfillment and joy. Let us seek wisdom with the same enthusiasm we might pursue earthly treasures.
Prayer
Lord, help us to prioritize wisdom over material wealth. Give us a heart that seeks Your insight and understanding above all else. May Your wisdom guide our decisions and bring true joy to our lives. We thank You for all things, but may we always keep sight of the ONE main thing: You. In Jesus’ name, we humbly pray, Amen.
