Bible Commentary

Proverbs 8:10

The invitation to choose wisdom over wealth is a call to reorder our values. What God offers surpasses anything the world considers most precious.

Memory phrase: Wisdom is better than gold.

Talk about it: If you had to choose between wisdom and a big bag of gold coins, which would you choose? Why?

Prayer: God, help me choose Your wisdom above everything else — even things I really want.
