Leafing through Proverbs As we read through proverbs from king Solomon in the Bible. We discover that there is a wealth of wisdom from the wisest man (apart from Jesus) who ever lived on this planet. Many of us, might question the wisdom behind the many wives he ended up having. Attitude toward Wealth Regardless, in this book, we notice a fair amount of advice about wealth and riches. Particularly, chapter 28 drew my attention because apart from helping us detect a wicked ruler from the bunch. It also speak of what a healthy attitude should be toward 'wealth' and how to approach it. There are destructive pattern in that regard and positive ones. We must respect wealth and not treat it as something it's due us. Getting Rich Quick Apparently, there are two verses in chapter 28 that refer to 'get rich quick'. It is the desire in a person to get rich quick that brings them to ruin. Trusting God keeps us on target. The greedy man or woman is the one in control.
