[Wisdom] offers you long life in her right hand,
and riches and honor in her left.
She will guide you down delightful paths;
all her ways are satisfying.
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
happy are those who hold her tightly.
Proverbs 3:16–18
Encouragement for Today
Wisdom is what people really should seek when pursuing “the good life,” not money. Money is merely a symbol, a medium of exchange. If you don’t have the wisdom to earn and keep wealth, it can ruin your life. Wisdom is what brings life, riches, and honor. Aren’t these the things people really want? Isn’t having these things—life, honor and riches—the very definition of success? We should seek, embrace, and hold on to wisdom, no matter what!
