Season 1 Episode 189
Super Happy King
15
When the king smiles, there is life;
his favor refreshes like a spring rain.
16
How much better to get wisdom than gold,
and good judgment than silver!
Verse 15
The wise servant wants the king to be happy. The king should not be angry. Events should not upset the king. Then the king will make good decisions. He will care about his people. He will serve God and act fairly.
Verse 16
Gold, silver and money are not really valuable. If we only want to earn money, then we are wasting our lives.
Wisdom and knowledge are really valuable. Especially, we should learn how to respect God.
Today, Verse 15 might be paraphrased: When the boss is happy, everybody is happy. In Israel, life depended on spring rain, so clouds forecasting rain were always a welcome sight.
Verse 16 states that wisdom is better than gold, but that goes against today's culture.
A good friend's suggestion for Verse 16 is: How much better it is to get wisdom than to play video games! He added, “Many people worship technology, and that is very sad. Most everyone I know does not have a clue about what true wisdom is.”
Someone once defined God as being what you think about most of the time. If you think about money all the time, money is your God. If you think about your image most of the time, then being positively perceived is your God.
Let me ask you: What do you think about most of the time? What is your God?
