Leaders Value Wisdom over Wealth

Proverbs 8:11 (MSG) For Wisdom is better than all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.

Status, wealth, power, and living the "good life" rule the airwaves. Success is measured by the “trappings of wealth.” That love of money has also given rise to a society where truth is not as valued as much as is “correctness.”

For the believer, access to Wisdom is straightforward – ask for wit. One small caveat – ask in faith. Therein lays the key to access: like anything from our Creator, He is believed, worshiped and “accessed” by faith.

Taking a stand in business for The Truth sometimes will yield sneering. To battle that belittling attitude, Christian leaders must remember, "Wisdom is better than all the trappings of wealth."

So who wins? "He who has the most toys, wins." or he who has found Wisdom. Which are you pursuing?
