Jonathan Cronin argues that wealth follows wisdom, which follows intimacy with God. He contrasts Solomon, who got both wisdom and riches, with his father David, who prioritized prayer and solitude. The path is clear: seek God first, gain wisdom, and wealth becomes a natural result.
Here's the thing. People understand that concept. Okay? Yeah, Solomon wanted wisdom and he won and God gave him wealth. But they also leave out just as much as people leave out, you know, the wisdom part and they just want wisdom for the sake of wealth. Right, because that's an issue. But who was Solomon's father? Solomon's father was David, King David. David was a man after God's own heart. David's life was about intimacy, prayer, solitude. That was David's life. And out of intimacy and prayer I believe the implication is that from there birthed wisdom and from wisdom, birth, wealth, intimacy to wisdom to wealth. So people leave off that piece of actually truly seeking God above all else. Now here's the other side of this. It is very practical, not just in the standpoint of seeking God. Bible says seek first the kingdom in Matthew 6:33 and all these things will be added.
