When God says...
"Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver." (Proverbs 8:18, 19 NKJV)
He gives us insight of wisdom's benefits, as experienced by Solomon as a young king. It's fruit stretches far beyond the riches the world can give. Possessing heavenly wisdom helps us look up to respond our Lord's call in the gospel - "“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21 ESV)
Wisdom leads to abiding wealth and lasting life in righteousness, with encompassing material and spiritual revenues, to be an instrument of blessing to your neighborhood. As it is written - "Real wisdom, God’s wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor." (James 3:17, 18 MSG)
And I say, AMEN!
