🦾Much Better💪

Something significantly superior, improved, or of a much higher quality compared to another. 

Have you ever heard these words?  You get what you pay for. That is not always true but most times if you are looking at both products one can tell which is of better quality. The one of better quality will always be more expensive. 

In today's world we hear a lot about gold and silver and why we should have some in our portfolio for retirement.  I looked at the cost of Gold and Silver and saw Gold selling for  $4331.13 per Troy ounce  and Silver was $64.53 a Troy ounce. What if I were to tell you that there was something much better? I’m sure you would be interested. In the Bible we are told that there is something much better than gold and silver. It is much different than Gold and Silver and it will take you places that Gold and Silver will not. Look and see how much of this you have stored up.

Proverbs 16:16 (KJV) How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

How does one get this “wisdom?” 

 Proverbs 1:2 (KJV) To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

To know? Instruction? Words of understanding?  Not to guess but to know. In order to get knowledge and understanding is to listen to those who have it? Spend your time with those who know. 

Proverbs 13:20 (KJV) He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

If you would like to be good in business then you must spend time with those who have a track record of such. The same is true with anything. The person who walks with those who are wise shall be wise themselves. The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom but one will never know if they do not spend time reading it. The person who reads what the wisest person who ever lived outside of Jesus Christ will become wise. King Solomon didn’t ask God for great wealth He simply asked for an understanding heart.

 1 Kings 3:9 (KJV) Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

1 Kings 3:11 (KJV) And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

1 Kings 3:12 (KJV) Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

I think it would be wise if we were to read and reread and reread and reread the book of Proverbs which was written by the wisest man that ever lived outside of Jesus Christ. There are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs. Read a chapter a day and think on what you have read and over time you will be amazed of how wise you have become. The question is are you willing to put the time in to become wise? He that walks with wise men shall be wise. How are we spending our time?
