Proverbs 24:3-4 KJV
Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
This passage reminded me of another Proverb;
Proverbs 10:22 KJV
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Everyone knows that riches, as in wealth, do not necessarily mean happiness, joy, and pleasantness. Many is the person who strove after the wealth of the world only to learn that in the obtaining of it they lost the very things that are precious and pleasant. No amount of material goods can take the place of
A marriage of love
A family united
A life of peace in the inner man
A hope of eternity in heaven
Too many have been fooled by the devil's line "eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die."
God's wisdom, the kind that comes from the Lord, leads a person to seek things more precious and more pleasant than this world can provide. When we have those things, then even the smallest of blessings in this world are counted riches.
