Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Wisdom's value far exceeds any material wealth we could accumulate.
In our pursuit of financial security and material comfort, we often overlook the supreme value of wisdom and understanding. These treasures cannot be stolen, do not depreciate, and benefit us both in this life and eternally. Choosing wisdom over gold is choosing eternal riches over temporary wealth.
Apply This Today
Before making a purchase or financial decision today, consider whether investing that time or money in growing in wisdom would bring greater long-term benefit.
Prayer
God, give me perspective to value wisdom above material wealth. Help me invest in eternal treasures that will never fade. Amen.
