Recently, my Grandfather has been sending his children and grandchildren emails filled with scripture and wisdom, his latest is too great not to share...
Descisions
What are you looking for? This is a question
that you need to ask yourself almost daily. If you can’t answer this question
about each situation that you face you are not ready to make an intelligent
decision. It is like this, “If you don’t where you want to go then any Bus will
take you.” One wise man asked his son, “What
are you going to do when you get out of high school?” The boy told him, “I am going to college.” The
father asked, “then what?” The boy
answered, “I’m going to make a lot of money and save a lot of the money I make.”
The father said, “then what?” “I’m going
to marry and have a nice house and a car and raise a family.” “Then what” said
the father. “I will have enough money to
have a great retirement and travel and see the world.” Again the father said, “then
what.” “I guess I will die at a nice old
age.” The father said to his son, “then what?” The boy said, “I have no idea
what will happen after death.” The father said to his son, “you are not
prepared to live if you have not prepared to die.”
“My child, learn what I teach you and never
forget what I tell you to do. Listen to what is wise and try to understand
it. Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for
insight. Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure.
If you do, you will know what it means to fear the LORD and you will succeed in
learning about God. It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from him come knowledge
and understanding. He provides help and protection for those who are righteous
and honest. He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are
devoted to him. If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and
fair. You will know what you should do.
You will become wise, and your knowledge will give you pleasure” Proverbs 2:1-10
