Proverbs!

Happy is a man who finds wisdom and who acquires understanding, for she is more profitable than silver, and her revenue is better than gold.

She is more precious than jewels; 

nothing you desire can equal her.

Proverbs 3:13-15 CSB

In 1973, in the dawn of television in NZ, Selwyn Toogood hosted a game show on TV called "It's in the bag" & he had a often repeated line to contestants "what will it be, the money or the bag?"

This proverb says that if there is wisdom and understanding in the bag, always choose that over the money. 

No matter how much it is.

There's a part of me that says take the money. Chase the money.

But this proverb is crystal clear, wisdom & understanding are far more valuable than anything we can desire. 

What are we to do with this proverb today?

No one is offering me "the money or the bag", but I do wonder if my life is somehow oriented around the wrong things, and this proverb invites us to consider that...
