When we live wisely we prosper, the bible has different names to mention the word wisdom: instruction or word of God: "Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers and blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD.", Proverbs 16:20. Wisdom is the knowledge of the correct means to live. The Bible explains to us that we have to choose, we act sensibly or are we foolish: "I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness", Ecclesiastes 2:13.
Wisdom is the applied science that allows the harmonious development of man and society, wisdom is edifying, progressive, gradual; wisdom is also "truth" that is, it is precision and accuracy.
Prosperity is something different from happiness, when we prosper we are happy, but when we are happy we do not always prosper. Prosperity is the correct progress of our life, of our goals and objectives as people, always taking into account our neighbor and our environment. Prosperity has a principle, you do not prosper alone, prosperity requires the goodwill of those around you, prosperity includes the common good.
Wisdom is the spiritual light, illuminates the reason of men and allows us to make the correct decisions in difficult moments. Prosperity is the consequence of making the correct decisions in life, those who fail, those who are not precise and exact, stumble: "They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed", 1 Peter 2:8.
On the other hand, those who live sensibly and approach God receive blessing: "´For I know the plans I have for you´, declares the LORD, ´plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.´", Jeremiah 29:11.
Those who live wisely are blessed, Jesus teaches us beatitude in these terms: "Blessed rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey it", Luke 11:28. The blessed life is the good, beautiful, sensible and happy life according to Aristotle.
Those who reject spiritual wisdom instead suffer oppression: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge", Hosea 4:6; and also: "Woe to you experts in the Law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering", Luke 11:52
