The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Dear Grands,

Proverbs 16:16-20, “How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who watches his way preserves his life.
18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
19 It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He who gives attention to the Word will find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.”

It doesn’t take an enormous amount of time to find people who are feverishly searching for riches. Yet, it does take time to find those who are desperately laboring to find wisdom. Solomon possessed both –so, examine carefully what he treasured more.

The intent of the righteous is to stay far away from evil; and the one who wishes to preserve his life does exactly that!

Pride in one’s possessions or in one’s knowledge ultimately leads to destruction; but it’s the one who guards himself against both who actually preserves his life.

Solomon’s wealth and wisdom enabled him to mix and mingle with both the humble and the proud; yet he encourages us to fellowship with the humble.

So, if you’re looking for that which is good, focus incessantly on the Word of God because It leads us to trust in the LORD! And those who trust in Him, are those who are truly blessed. Are you one of the trusting?

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
