Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom

 when he has no sense?

Proverbs 17:16

Like many proverbs this seems so obvious, but seeing it in the ESV makes it stand out so much.  The play on words makes it stick with you.  We can have all the money in the world - or opportunities or friends or any other resource, but if we have not the wisdom of God as to how to use them, they are wasted away.  Let's not waste away all that God has blessed us with today. Let's make it count for Him.
