13Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, 16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Proverbs 3:13,16 (NIV)
The wisdom of the world cannot offer you everything. In the world’s way of succeeding, you may get rich and famous but most of the time at the expense of your life, health, and relationships. Success and riches gained without God come with fear and worry. You fear and worry that you may lose it, that it may be stolen. Now you become restless. You work harder to maintain and safeguard your possessions. So, you have no time to take care of your health, no time for your loved ones, no time to enjoy life itself. Then you lose it all before it is actually lost because it has become meaningless. But the wisdom of God offers it all – long, healthy, stable life, riches and honor. The wisdom of God is the holistic blessing which makes rich and there’s no sorrow with it. You’re blessed in your mind with peace, in your body with health and longevity, loving relationships, financial and material prosperity, because it’s God who guides and empowers you.
