SAMUEL NASAM
WISDOM AND WEALTH
Eccl.7.12 Double protection: wisdom and wealth! Plus this bonus: Wisdom energizes its owner. (MSB)
It thrills me every single time I think about the Word of God. From the day I decided to stick my life to God’s Word, I have always had answers to everything in life.
Our opening scripture is stirring. Just to think of it, where in the world would you see such a thing? This is found only in the Word of God and the beauty of it all is that, it is able to cause you to walk in its light. Double protection indeed as we can paraphrase: double blessing! Protection is a blessing, isn’t it? What a blessing! The Word of God makes it clear that wisdom is the principal thing: Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” There are different kinds of wisdom spoken about in the Word of God and we will delve into that sometime later in our studies.
Chokmah is a Hebrew word translated wisdom in English and it means the wisdom that works: skillful in war, shrewdness. It is the power to judge perfectly and to follow the best course of action and this is based on knowledge and understanding. I love this: the ability to see something from God’s view point.
Money is a medium of exchange for goods and services. The Bible says: Eccl.7.12 “Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor.” (NIV) The Bible is basically saying that just as everything is great about wisdom, the same with money.
