A good reminder here to keep us all humble -- good things in life are gifts, and we are wise to seek wisdom above all else -- even fine gold and choice silver. I wonder how many mistakes in life would be avoided if we'd learn this lesson. Imagine the different world we'd live in if each of us pursued what was wise rather than what might make us the most money or give us the most power. Politics would be different, and so would each community and each household. We'd certainly share much better! We often hoard out of fear rather than share out of wisdom. What's the line? How do we know? It's probably different for each of us, but wisdom helps us learn what is 'enough' and what is more than we need. May we seek such wisdom, so that we, too, can live just lives, trusting in the strength of God and fearing only the Lord, nothing else, trusting that our treasury has been filled by God alone.
