Wisdom – I choose wisdom over riches, specifically money, any day of the week.
Wisdom leads you to wealth and contentment, whatever that may be for you.
Besides material things, money (whether ill-gotten or through hard work) can buy you just about anything nowadays – power, fame, a new face and even altered body parts – none of these last forever, they all have expiration dates.
If you exalt money over God, family and a few lasting relationships, that hole inside of your inner being continues to deepen and widen with emptiness.
Mark Chapter 8, verses 36-38 (KJV) “36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.“
Need wisdom? Then ask God for wisdom and He will give it to you.
Proverbs 4: 5-9 (KJV) “5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.”
