Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. 11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And profitable to those who see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

Longing for the "good old days" is not wise, because time goes forward into eternity, and God's plans will unfold by His will. To be wise is to listen to and follow all He says. This is what we can rely on, as it brings life - something riches and gain of any other thing can never do. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; He will then give what you need. Our wisdom is in God's inheritance!
