Should you adopt the moral framework given to you by people, or do you know right from wrong based on what God says? Interestingly, those same people are willing to tell you whatвЂ™s right and whatвЂ™s wrong! Whatever the case, whatever the reason, engaging with GodвЂ™s Word can make us wiser. Maybe because weвЂ™re more plugged into our phones than each other, more apt to turn on CNN or Fox News than seek advice from Scripture. ThereвЂ™s a shortage of wisdom going around today. Scripture is how we understand morality, relationships, faith, and more. ThereвЂ™s no surprise then that the Bible itself is a book replete with wisdom. Yet, as another wise saying goes, вЂњThe best things in life are worth waiting for.вЂќ Wisdom definitely qualifies. And unlike money, wisdom doesn't promise quick fixes. People from business entrepreneurs to rappers talk plenty about attaining wealth, but when was the last time you heard someone make a song about becoming wiser? We live in a world of instant gratification and quick fixes. You wouldnвЂ™t know that though looking at modern society. Maybe thatвЂ™s why Scripture regards wisdom as more valuable than riches. Money is temporary, wisdom lasts a lifetime. But wisdom gained is never lost, unlike money. Wisdom is like money in that we can exchange it, you share wisdom with me and I share wisdom with you. One day you may have children of your own, and youвЂ™ll tell them the same thing.

What your parents said about money was wisdom they received from their parents.
