Wisdom's Wealth

Wisdom stored within the heart
Is wealth which can't be robbed away.
E'en when banks and systems fail,
God's wisdom "stays" us day-by-day.

Precious wisdom stored within
Becomes a bulwark and a hedge,
A reservoir from which to draw
Whene'er we "teeter near the edge".

As we seek to honor God
And to His Word stay very near,
He will lead and guide us through.
Our prayers and outcries He will hear.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
Proverbs 9:10 KJV
