Proverbs 8:10-11 -- On Knowledge and Gold

"Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it."
Proverbs 8:10-11


This is a good reminder about true wealth. As we move forward through life, let's prioritize spiritual and intellectual treasures and learn as much as we can. Those are things that will not only help us in this live, but things that we can take with us when we pass beyond this life. Gold and toys, not so much. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't take care of our physical necessities or give toys to our children, etc., but only that we need to remember the relative value.

Today, let's take God's advice and value instruction, knowledge, and wisdom over gold and rubies, building ourselves into better people rather than prioritizing building our wealth.
