TOPIC: Wisdom Enriches More Than Gold
TEXT: Proverbs 8:1-21(NKJV)
Daily Fountain Devotional 30 August 2022 MESSAGE
In today’s reading, Solomon continues to explain more the relevance of wisdom. In this passage, wisdom is personified as a feminine gender in contrast with the adulterous woman in Chapter 7. The adulterous woman could only be found along the street corner which eventually leads to hell (7:12,27) while wisdom reveals herself on the top of the high hill and opens gates and public places to bless the simple ones who befriend her (8:1-5).
The excellent gift of wisdom in this passage is riches that endure (v.18). There is no one who embraces wisdom that would not be enriched with the fear of God, prudence, discretion, justice and blessings (vv.13-16). Wisdom also honours her lovers and blesses them with riches (vv. 17-18).
Beloved, this is a call to embrace wisdom for its fruit is better than gold and its revenue than choice silver (v.19). We should learn from Solomon who did not pray for riches, instead requested for wisdom and understanding (1 Kings 3:5-12) but when blessed with wisdom and understanding, he gained the riches.
We are also warned never to seek for wisdom because of its material gains; the one who seeks wisdom for financial gain has missed the point. Let us learn from the fate of Simon who desired to buy the gift of God for a price and for financial gain (Acts 8:18-21)
PRAYER: O Lord, help me to rely on your wisdom, so that my life will be enriched with honour and righteousness in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
