Wisdom That Protects


“Riches are the ransom for a man’s life, but the
poor are not even threatened.”— .
Proverb 13:8




WHILE being rich may have certain advantages,
wealth is a mixed blessing, especially in our
perilous times. ( 2 Timothy 3:1-5 ) In some lands,
the wealthy, including tourists who look affluent,
have become targets of thieves and kidnappers
seeking a ransom.



Concerning one developing country, a news report
stated: “Violent robberies, fraud and kidnappings pit
the haves against the have-nots. Restaurants post
armed guards; the homes of the wealthy have walls
with razor-wire, floodlights, cameras and security
guards.” A similar situation exists in many other
lands.


Yet, “the poor,” the Bible says, “are not even
threatened.” How can you benefit from that gem of
wisdom? If you live in an area known for crime and violence or if you have to travel to such a place, do
not attract attention to yourself by appearing to be
affluent. Think carefully about what you wear and
carry in public, especially if your possessions would
be noticed.
“The shrewd one sees the danger,”
says , “but the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.”

The wisdom recorded in the Bible reflects our
Creator’s care for us. He wants us to be safe. Such
“wisdom is a protection,” says , for it “preserves the life of its owner.”
