Proverbs 3:14
"For the merchandise of it is better than
the merchandise of silver, and the
gain thereof than fine gold."
This system of high social value of material wealth in comparison with Wisdom, which is not even rational; but rests on the fear of the Lord, and is goodness as well as understanding, never needed preaching with more emphasis than right now today. Everyday more and more of the commercial spirit invades in every region of our lives, and rich men are the envied types of success. When will America's believe the religion which they profess, and adjust themselves accordingly? How many so called Christian parents would think their son was crazy if he said, "I do not care about getting rich; my goal is to be wise with God’s Wisdom." How few of us order our lives on the footing of this lesson, and act out the belief that Wisdom is more than wealth!
The man who heaps millions together, and masses it, fails in life, however a vulgar world and a high class seeking church, may admire and glorify him. The man who wins Wisdom succeeds, however bare may be his cupboard, and however people may pity him for having failed in life, because he has not drawn prizes in the Devil’s lottery. His blank is a prize, and their prizes are blanks.
Amen!
