Better a Little with the Fear of the Lord
Manage episode 490487675 series 3670687
Success isn’t always measured in square footage or salary. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, we reflect on Proverbs 15:16 and discover the paradox of true prosperity: it’s better to have little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure with turmoil. When the world pushes for more, God invites us to live in reverent contentment.
In This Episode:
- How Proverbs reframes success and satisfaction
- Why awe before God is worth more than affluence without Him
- What it looks like to choose peace over pressure
Takeaway:
A quiet life with God is richer than a loud life without Him.
