Money and Wisdom

We tend to idolize people who have lots of money. It’s all too easy to think that people must

have made their millions due to their intellect and wisdom. The Bible doesn’t buy into this

though, it tells us that sometimes money and wisdom are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Wisdom does not equal lots of money. Lots of money does not equal wisdom. This becomes

obvious when we think about it. Pornography, for example, is extremely foolish and yet it offers

tons of money for those who sell it. Sometimes sin equals lots of money. The Bible says that

Wisdom and Understanding cry out an invitation to all who will listen – that they are ready and

willing to help anyone who will hear. Proverbs 8 will shed even more light on this concept of real

and Godly wisdom.
