Seek for wisdom

Seek not for riches but for wisdom, and behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich. D&C 6:7

Materialism, acquisitiveness, and greed never unite with the things of eternity. We are commanded to “lay aside the things of this world, and to seek for the things of a better” (D&C 25:10). The Lord has said, “Wherefore, seek not the things of this world but seek ye first to build up the kingdom of God, and to establish his righteousness” (JST Matthew 6:38). Jacob, the brother of Nephi, counseled the Saints of his day: “Before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God. And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good” (Jacob 2:18-19). Wisdom, which is better than rubies (Proverbs 8:11), is a combination of knowledge and action, spiritual insight and meek submission. Wisdom is built on the foundation of humility and gratitude and leads us to seek the riches of eternity in the kingdom of God. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell.
