September 8th: Why Wisdom Is Better Than Stuff | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! šŸš— Whether you’re dreaming about that new pair of shoes or finishing up a breakfast sandwich before class, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.

All month long, we’re in our series:

Proverbs for Your School Life — daily wisdom from the same book Jesus studied as a kid to help you live wisely today.

Today’s verse hits different in a world full of wishlists and "gotta-have-it" moments:

šŸ‘‰ Proverbs 8:11 (CSB)
ā€œFor wisdom is better than jewels, and nothing desirable can equal it.ā€

šŸ’” What does that mean?

In this unique chapter, wisdom is the one speaking—like a voice saying:
šŸ‘‰ ā€œI’m worth more than anything you could ever want.ā€
Back in Bible times, jewels were the most valuable things a person could own. So when Solomon writes this, he’s making it clear:

  • Being wise is better than being rich.

  • Wisdom helps you make better choices—no matter what you have.

    āœ… In this episode, kids will learn:

    • Why chasing wisdom matters more than chasing stuff

    • How Jesus lived this out—choosing people over possessions

    • How wisdom helps us enjoy what we already have

      šŸŽ® šŸ’ø šŸŽ§ From new phones and PS5s to fancy outfits or having less homework—it’s not wrong to want things. But Solomon is saying:

      šŸ‘‰ Don’t want stuff more than you want wisdom.
      Wisdom helps you use what you have the right way and enjoy it more!

      šŸ“˜ Application for today:

      1. Ask yourself: Am I chasing stuff or chasing wisdom?

      2. Choose wisdom—even when it’s hard or unpopular

      3. Remember: You don’t need the best stuff to be the best version of yourself

        šŸ‘Øā€šŸ‘©ā€šŸ‘§ Parent Tip:

        Ask your child:
        ā€œWhat’s one desirable thing in your life that might be trying to compete with wisdom?ā€
        If today’s episode sparked a helpful conversation in your home, share it with a friend or your kids’ pastor at church!
