Ecclesiastes 7:12
Ecclesiastes 7:12
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Ecclesiastes 7:12 offers valuable insight: “For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.” This verse tells us that while wealth can provide temporary security, wisdom is far superior in its ability to protect and preserve us. Money may provide material comforts, but it cannot save us from the deeper dangers of life—spiritual emptiness, moral failure, or a broken relationship with God. Wisdom, however, gives life. It brings peace to the soul and helps us make decisions that lead to spiritual and emotional wholeness. In difficult times, wisdom guides us in how to navigate trials with strength and grace. It is a shield for the heart and a light for our path.
Proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
Proverbs 18:15
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Proverbs 4:5
Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
