Proverbs 8:19
“My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.”
We are living in economic times that are less than certain. Many have lost fortunes in the stock market. Folks who bought homes just a couple of years ago to turn around for profit are stuck with houses they don’t want and can’t afford. Those closing in on their retirement years are questioning whether they will be able to afford to actually retire. For some putting food on the table and gas in the car are daily worries.
Listening to financial experts try to explain the economic woes can make your head spin. The problems, reasons, and solutions for them are complex and quite frankly beyond any one person’s ability to control. If we can’t understand the problems or the solutions then what hope is there for a wise investment?
Proverbs 8 assures us there is a worthy and wise investment we can all make. It isn’t in gold, silver or precious jewels. Our investment needs to be in the “wisdom market”. Wisdom Personified makes it clear that an investment in wisdom brings a great return.
Let’s consider this investment and the returns. We invest in wisdom by listening to, searching for and then obeying it. And the returns are better than fine gold or choice silver. Here are just a few named in Proverbs 8: knowledge, prudence, understanding, eternal riches, righteousness and life. And the prospectus for this investment (found in verses 22-31) is quite impressive.
We have an outstanding prospectus, a wise investment solution and guaranteed returns. What more could we ask for? I encourage you to invest in “wisdom”. Hear her cry, seek her out and heed her instructions.

Yeah. The stock market isn't doing so well nowadays but with God as your investment counselor, you can't lose.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. You know just this morning in church, Warren was talking about the economic woes and how he could see it forming similar to the depression of the 1920s. Then he also reminded us of being THANKFUL, and of our greatest weapon against the battles our country faces economically and spiritually - God's word. And then Erik was talking about confidence in our faithful God and remembering not to forget how he watches out for us as much as for the sparrows. It was neat to me how what they said and what I read from you today were coinciding. Thanks
