God is my shield: His eyes are on those who fear him, and he is aware of every human action. Ben Sira 15:19

The Bible with its practical wisdom teaches men the correct path of life, the sapiential books such as the Book of Ben Sira constantly explain that spirituality is the fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion, equanimity, and stability).
It is true that the world only values ​​money, power, and material wealth in general, in other words, the rich and the powerful men are valued and the poor are despised. Given this situation, it would seem that those who do not pay attention to their own selfishness and happiness are condemned to their ruin, but this is not the case.
In the Bible and human history there are numerous cases of men who overnight went from being the richest and most powerful to having nothing; nobody, no matter how powerful and rich they are, has their life assured. And Nabal, a rich man who, according to the Bible, had his estate in Carmel and was a Calebite, testified to this truth, this man was deeply selfish and had no mercy towards David, and he paid for this error with his life (1 Samuel 25).
This is why Ben Sira in his wisdom taught that God is a guide, shield, and illumination for reason, whoever puts his trust in God never sees his hope disappointed, like David, and Hezekiah who fought in inferior conditions against a more powerful enemy and they emerged victorious; and that's how the master of wisdom Ben Sira explained this fact in his book:
"For great is the wisdom of the LORD;
he is mighty in power and all-seeing.
His eyes are on those who fear him,
and he is aware of every human action" Ben Sira 15:18-19.
And this is above all true, because the gift of fear of God, which is the only path to spiritual enlightenment and what pleases God, is common sense and assertiveness in the resolution of problems. The Bible calls and invites men to seek and love God and his wisdom above all things.
