Retirement
July 19, 2024
Reading through Proverbs again, I read notes I’d jotted in the margin as I planned for my retirement. The focus of my planning was income— money. Would I have enough? Proverbs 3: 13—15Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
I wrote that margin note one year before that retirement date. ‘I’d like wisdom and understanding to mark my retirement.’ My perspective changed. Was I storing up the wealth of wisdom? That would be my true joy in retirement. God took note. He’s using my non income working season to spend and be spent for Him. A treasure greater than income.
