Proverbs 3:14,15 Wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. (NLT)
The wealthiest man in history (King Solomon) did not get wealthy by pursuing riches. He got wealthy by pursuing wisdom!
1 Kings 3:3-14 records the story of God appearing to Solomon in a dream. He basically offered Solomon a blank check…ask for whatever you want me to give you.
Solomon could have asked for riches, long life, honor, or the fulfillment of any other desire. He asked for wisdom! As a result, God granted him riches as well.
Pursuing wisdom leads to wealth. Pursuing wealth does not lead to wisdom.
Following college, Steven K. Scott lost his first 6 jobs within 4 years. He asked his friend, Gary Smalley for advice. Gary encouraged Steven to read one chapter from the Bible book Proverbs (the book of wisdom) daily. Stephen did and within one year was a multi-millionaire.
He became prosperous by searching for wisdom daily through God’s Word and taking action on the truth he learned.
His book, The Richest Man Who Ever Lived is great. It is a must read for all who desire to build Bible-based prosperity! Grab a copy here:
