Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is "gelt." Accumulating wealth seems to be a pretty
common theme throughout the Bible.
People in the Old Testament were often deemed successful by the kind of
inheritance that they left to future generations. It wasn't always necessarily money, a lot of
times it was posessions, land, and livestock.
This passage below relates the need in our lives for wisdom, as it
pertains to the desire for wealth and security.
“Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits
those who see the sun. Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the
advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its
possessor.”
~Ecc. 7:11-12
My question is: what are the steps you are currently taking
to gain more wisdom? I remember years
ago my pastor's wife gave me one of the most important pieces of advice I would
ever receive. She said that in the
morning when I rise, and at night before I go to sleep I should always pray for
both wisdom and discernment. I feel that
over the years God has answered those prayers.
I'm don’t always make the best decisions, but as I walk this journey
with the Lord, he has increased my wisdom quotient. My prayer is that each of you yearns for
wisdom and discernment in your relationship with God. He will give you all that is needed to set
yourself up to leave a spiritual inheritance after you leave this earth.
Praying for you,
mo
