Send us Fan MailSilver and Gold    10 Choose my instruction rather than silver,     and knowledge rather than pure gold.11 For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.     Nothing you desire can compare with it.Verses 10-11Money is not really valuable. Silver and gold are beautiful, but they cannot give a good life to you. Wisdom is valuable. Wisdom is better than money, silver or gold.The Bible is also better than these things. ‘I love God’s commands more than the purest gold.’ (Psalm 119:127)Verses 10-11 are similar to Proverbs 3:14-15. In Proverbs 3, Solomon is speaking to his son about the woman called Wisdom. ‘She is worth more than silver. She is even more valuable than gold. She is more valuable than precious stones. No valuable things compare with her.’ Now, in verses 10-11, Wisdom herself agrees that this is true.In Proverbs Wisdom tells us that knowledge andunderstanding are the most precious things available to man.After all, riches and money don’t guarantee you will have ameaningful life.Knowing how the Creator of Life designed life to be livedis the way to a life worth living.Here Wisdom is telling us that we cannot worship moneyand the Creator at the same time. That’s the same thing Jesussaid.Contemplate: Our money says: In God We Trust.Do you trust in God, or do you trust in God after you have asolid savings account and a substantial IRA and pension?If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
