Wisdom vs. Wealth

 

Another quote from my pastor, Dr. Robert Nix: "There is a difference between wisdom and wealth. Wealth is having the finances. Wisdom knows how to keep the finances."

Have you ever wondered why money seems to run through your fingers? Join the club. This means that you don’t have financial wisdom. Yes, you have made the money, but you don’t know how to keep it. I was not taught how to budget or manage money. So, for years, I struggled with my finances. I made a lot of dumb financial choices. Now, I have learned to pray and ask God to guide my financial decisions. This has worked so much better for me. No, I will not lie and say that I don’t still waste money. However, I have become a better steward of what God has entrusted to me. It is my continuing prayer that I learn how to get and keep wealth.

 

Deuteronomy 8:18-He gives us the power to get wealth.

Proverbs 10: 22-blessings of God make us rich

Proverbs 3:9-10-Honor the Lord with your wealth and the first fruits of your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty.
