DEFINED BY THE RICHES WE DESIRE

Wisdom of Solomon 8:5-6 LXX

Now if riches are a possession to be desired in life,
What is richer than wisdom, who works all things?
And if discernment shows itself in action,
Who more than wisdom is its craftsman?

Personal Challenge

I believe that part of our being created in the image of God is that part of us desires to possess riches. What was broken by the fall of mankind was what we define as riches. If the riches that we desire are the things of this earth such as material wealth and personal gain and recognition, then we have bought the lie of our enemy and succumb to the fall. However, if the riches that we desire are those outside of this world such as loving God, loving our neighbor, knowing Wisdom personally, and all of those things that are of our Father, then we have started our journey to righteousness and the breaking of the fetters and shackles that this earth has bound us with. Glory be to God!
