Such Amazing Wisdom

I took my youngest son and hung out with a day trader early this morning. It was my first experience. I'm not the right kind of personality to ever do trading but it was a brand new experience and a great time for the three of us to share. After listening to the story of how this young man has moved from poverty to providing for his family, I was so touched by how God has become the center of his life. One of God's greatest gifts is that of belonging to a team, a family. Here's my favorite wisdom passage for the day; enjoy!

Proverbs 13:11 "Wealth from get-rich schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows."

This day trader showed us how much hard work it took to learn how to trade. He showed us how the urge to "get-rich-quick" can destroy you. Then he shared how much he's invested in his family. If something is really valuable, you can know that it takes a lot of time, energy, and resouces to keep or maintain it. Jesus said, "Wherever you treasure most, you will find your heart and thoughts are there too." Matthew 6:21.
