Light is sweet, and it is pleasing for the eyes to see the sun.

1 Timothy 6 17-1 Timothy 6 19
Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy.Instruct them to do what is good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and willing to share,storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of what is truly life.

Luke 16:8-9
“ The master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this age are more shrewd than the children of light in dealing with their own people.And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of worldly wealth so that when it fails, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.

1 Kings 3 6-1 Kings 3 9
And Solomon replied,“ You have shown great and faithful love to your servant, my father David, because he walked before you in faithfulness, righteousness, and integrity. You have continued this great and faithful love for him by giving him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today.“ LORD my God, you have now made your servant king in my father David’s place. Yet I am just a youth with no experience in leadership.Your servant is among your people you have chosen, a people too many to be numbered or counted.So give your servant a receptive heart to judge your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours?”

Ecclesiastes 2:13
And I realized that there is an advantage to wisdom over folly, like the advantage of light over darkness.

Proverbs 8:10-11
Accept my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.For wisdom is better than jewels, and nothing desirable can equal it.

Ecclesiastes 9:15-18
Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.And I said,“ Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”The calm words of the wise are heeded more than the shouts of a ruler over fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner can destroy much good.
