💰 Money Lessons from Solomon:
Wisdom for Your Wealth Journey

Hi,

When it comes to financial wisdom, there’s no one better to learn from than King Solomon—the richest and wisest man in the Bible.

This week on the King's Council Podcast, we’re diving deep into the timeless money lessons from Solomon that are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.

- Work Hard and Smart: Solomon warns us that "a slack hand causes poverty." Laziness and lack of focus won't lead you to financial success. In modern terms, this means you have to work diligently and purposefully to achieve your financial goals. Proverbs 12:11 reminds us, “Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.” It’s a call to action—focus on what matters and steer clear of get-rich-quick schemes.
- Avoid the Chains of Debt: Proverbs 22:7 is crystal clear: “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” Debt may not make us literal slaves today, but it can certainly feel that way. Solomon advises us to avoid debt as much as possible. Sacrificing future financial freedom for immediate gratification can lead to years of stress and limitations. Tune in to learn how to break free from the cycle of debt and secure your financial independence.
- Seek Wise Counsel: “Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” — Proverbs 15:22. Solomon knew the value of wise counsel. Before making any major financial decisions, it's crucial to seek advice from trusted advisors. Whether it’s a financial advisor, a mentor, or a trusted friend, getting a second opinion can provide new perspectives and prevent costly mistakes.
- Build and Preserve Wealth: In Proverbs 21:20, Solomon says, “Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling, but a foolish man devours them.” This lesson is all about the importance of saving and preserving wealth rather than spending it all on fleeting pleasures. Solomon's wisdom teaches us to value and protect what we've worked so hard to accumulate.
- The Blessing of Generosity: Finally, Solomon reminds us in Proverbs 22:9: “The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” Generosity might not seem like the most direct path to wealth, but it brings its own rewards—happiness, satisfaction, and even unexpected blessings.
