“Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city, “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says, “Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.” Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:1-10
There is a lot of wisdom found in these verses and I highlighted verse 9 that reads “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning” as that could very well be on a marquee in the front of every school with a Trinity HOPE feeding program.
The parents of these six girls at the Lutheran school in Cap Haitian sent them to learn more about Jesus, reading, writing, arithmetic, science, language and also to receive a noon meal. A Trinity HOPE donor shared a portion of their income, $1.50, for their lunch…the Holy Spirit will take over from here to use these young missionaries to share their wisdom with those in the family and their neighborhood. These six are the future of Haiti.
Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay
