Several times in the book of Proverbs, wisdom is often referred to as a woman......"in her right hand she offers long life and in her left riches and honour." Majority of us concentrate more on eating healthy and excersing more to have good heath which in turn leads to long time. Others depend on medicine and the most expensive health care treatments. What we fail to realise is God is the one who holds the key to life.
By wisdom the Word of God urges us to honour our Father and Mother so that our days may be long on earth. This is a guaranteed promise given based on the condition of honouring our parents....follow it and you add on to your days of life, disregard it and you don't....simple. This command amongst others relating to long life can all be found in God's Word and if we should follow, it'll be beneficial to our lives.
With the glitz and glamour of our society, our generation is also pushed into get-rich-quick schemes to satisfy our desires of having it all. The pressures from the media doesn't help but promote these lifestyles. The Word of God clearly states that "The blessings of the Lord makes one rich and adds no sorrows." Would you rather gain the world and loose your soul or gain Jesus and live a worthy life which is eternal.
Proverbs 14:12(KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Think about these words, with Wisdom you have long life in your right hand and in your left riches and honour. Choose life.
