Even today one of the ways of determining a country's financial worth is by the value of gold it owns, however the wisest and richest man who ever lived has something really good to let us know, something better than gold, something better than silver....
'My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
And my revenue than choice silver. '
Proverbs 8:19 (NKJV)
What is King Solomon talking about? What is even better than gold and silver?
King Solomon talks about wisdom, and where do we get this wisdom from? From university? From reading good books? From higher education?
Solomon also lets us know the blessed source of wisdom...
'The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge(wisdom), '
Proverbs 1:7 (NIV)
Thus the person who honors God and respects the Lord God in every area of her/his life is truly a wise person.
Thus the next time you meet a very rich person, or a very learned person kindly do not presume her/him as wise, for our wisdom is based on our relation with the Lord God.
Thus now we know the true and blessed way to gain wisdom and now we know that we can have worth more than silver and gold in obeying the Lord and honoring Him in all we do.
Did you say just now that we can en cash silver or gold in the market for money but we cannot en cash wisdom in the local market?
Kindly survey the lives of all those who have money much more than they ever desired or imagined, they equally have hell in their lives much more than they ever thought,
On the contrary kindly survey the lives of them who honor God and you will know that no amount of money can purchase the joy that comes from the Lord God alone.
Thus let's be wise as the Bible says and we will never regret, we will never lose hope.
