Reflection

Studying the practical, God-given wisdom behind 'Wealth and Its Dangers' brings us close to the secrets of Solomon's uprightness. Gaining discernment is worth more than refined gold. This lesson invites you to weigh your everyday decisions and words against the eternal commandments of the Creator. Wisdom teaches us to act justly, to seek peace with everyone and to place our whole trust in divine providence, which makes for a life of purpose and true dignity.

Applying it today
