Profitable Treasure

Proverbs 10:2

Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.

Crime does not pay. Most likely the treasure itself will be the downfall of the wicked, as they are caught in their crime sooner or later. Perhaps they are not caught; nevertheless, they must hide their deeds and live in guarded fear either from the law or from others who are wicked. Perhaps they live without fear, confident in their invincibility; even so their names are tarnished, their friends are bought, and their curse lies on their family. Perhaps they die in peace, but what awaits them is an everlasting nightmare. What profit is it to gain the temporary treasures of the world, only to lose the eternal treasure of one's soul?

The Wise Son

Proverbs 10:1

A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

A foolish son or daughter is a sorrow to parents. For whatever else they may achieve in life, it is in their children that they take greatest pleasure and pride. It is their children whom they love most and through whom they hope to leave a loving and honorable legacy. How great then must be the joy and pride of God the Father in his wise son. How joyful was the day of his son's baptism when he declared, "This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased." How joyful it was to see his son live a life of perfect obedience, always doing his father's will. Whatever the pain of the cross when his wrath must come down upon his son, yet great was his pride that his son would bear it willingly and victoriously, so that we prodigals could be restored as sons and daughters. Give thanks this day for this Wise Son, who is not ashamed to call us his brothers and sisters (cf Hebrews 2:11).

WOW Project

This summer WOW kids are working to get Urdu Bibles into the hands of children in Pakistan. At about 1:18 minutes into this video, you'll see one of the groups that will receive them.

This is part of the WOW passport program which works like this: WOW kids earn passport stamps by reading books and doing  activities that expose them to what God is doing in the world. Generous donors like you promise to back each passport stamp with a dollar donation. And as a result, every time  a WOW kid earns three passport stamps money another Bible is set to be shipped. The kids have already earned enough stamps for 400 Pakistani children to receive Bibles. Wow!
