In the 4th Chapter of Proverbs, Solomon emphasizes another time how important gaining wisdom is. It isn’t something to be ignored. When you follow words of wisdom, they will take care of you throughout life. They will keep you on a straight path.

I have been so blessed to have been under the wise counsel of my Father and Mother! In honoring those words, it has saved me from making many wrong turns in life. I have looked at some people who have chosen to go their own way, and it has not turned out well for them. They have reaped years of useless toiling. If only they had chosen the path of wise instruction, they would have had years of peace and prosperity!

When Alan and I took the Financial Peace course, it was hammered into the group how important the long term goals are. It is not worth spending your wealth immediately…where will you be years down the line?! May we all value wisdom and build up a spiritual wealth!
