Wisdom is better than strength

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

Ecclesiastes 9:13-18 KJV

This poor man was wise but had no money. He saved his city but he did not become a celebrity. What would have happened if this man was not there in their city at that time? The answer is simple and clear that city would not even have been recorded here because it would have been remembered no more. We don’t even have a clue as no name was given.

Solomon discovered that wisdom is better than strength and that people come secretly to wise men but will praise men who rule among fools publicly. Wisdom is better than weapons of war but one sinner yes one sinner destroys a lot of good.

Choose to be wise in all your dealings even if people do not sing your praises. Money is also very important in the society but not above wisdom. In all your getting, get understanding. Wisdom is priceless and cannot be bought with money.

You may be afraid that if you are wise and you do not have money people will not celebrate you because you are poor. There is wisdom for wealth available today which you can get through financial education. You need to understand the laws and principles of wealth creation.
