The One-Year Bible - 14 January 2012

Readings:
Genesis 30:1 - 31:16
Matthew 10: 1-23
Psalm 12: 1-8
Proverbs 3: 13-15

Proverbs reading: "Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding".  I was once asked (in a corporate setting) whether I would prefer to be wealthy or wise, and I answered that it would be far preferable to be wise.  If one is wise, one can become wealthy, but if one is wealthy without wisdom, the chances of losing one's wealth is far greater.

If this is true for earthly wisdom, how much greater truth is to be found in Godly wisdom.  For it is in the wisdom of God that we find true wealth - in love, in relationship, in the comfort of doing God's will, and (where necessary for the extension of God's ministry here on earth) materially as well.
