Proverbs 3:13-16

"Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
the one who gains understanding.
For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
and her wages are better than gold.
Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
She offers you long life in her right hand,
and riches and honor in her left."
 
People think they need riches to be happy, but these verses say you need wisdom to be happy. In fact, you need wisdom to be rich! Wisdom is more precious than the most valuable material wealth. Wisdom profits you more financially than a big bank account. When you consider how to train your children about money, or if you face financial difficulties yourself, focus on wisdom. All good things flow from possessing wisdom. And the only source of that is God and his word. Wisdom is his perspective on everything. How can you go wrong with that?
