Learning More Precious Than Silver

My dear son,

I know the effort you put into obtaining good things. Set aside some of that attention for gaining wisdom. Gold and silver can fill your hands, while sound discernment can keep helping you through the many decisions of life.

Talk with me about how to live as well as what more to acquire. Listening to an experienced person and considering good teaching are valuable uses of time, even when they produce no immediately visible result.

Enjoy learning one thing deeply today. Ask what you do not know, and practice what you discover. Receive your Father's desire that your heart grow rich alongside whatever else you may gain.

With all my love,
Your Father

Proverbs 16:16

WEB

16How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

A short reflection

Proverbs places gaining wisdom above obtaining gold and gaining understanding above acquiring silver.
