DAY FIFTY FIVE | The Crown Of The Wise

DAY FIFTY FIVE | THE CROWN OF THE WISE

PROVERBS 14 : 24. – The crown of the wise is their riches, but the foolishness of fools is their folly.

Wise people use riches in such a way they become a crown of honour on their lives, whereas a foolish person uses riches in such a way it become a clown’s hat of folly.

Have you ever seen someone who either inherits or makes a lot of money but does not know how to use it. They have to wear the most expensive clothes and jewellery and buy the fastest sports car or boat they can find, and to them it is marvellous. But to everyone else it looks like a clown’s hat at a circus.

God is not against prosperity, He is for you being blessed. In fact He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. God actually wants you to prosper so that you can use your riches as a source of blessing for others. See that you use your wealth in such a way that it brings honour on your life and to your God. God’s plan is for you to prosper. What God doesn’t like is when your prosperity is reduced down to a pile of possessions, and a list of pleasures.

Foolish people think that prosperity is simply possessions and lifestyle, and so they pile themselves up with all kinds of stuff until they look like a clown trying to juggle silly things at a circus. Make sure that everything you have is held as a blessing from God and used to bring Him honour. Don’t flaunt your little bit of wealth like a clown with a huge hat at a circus.

Enjoy the blessing of God on your life and use it wisely to bless others. Remember; freely you have received so freely give. The more generous you are with the blessing and riches that come from the Lord, the more honour He will bestow upon you in the future.
