How much is wisdom worth?

Over the many years of ministry, starting at the “bottom,” and being involved in many types of ministries, we have grown to know one thing, and this one thing is more “valuable than rubies…” It is called “wisdom.”

Some people try all of their life to build a fortune, but the Bible says, “For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” (Proverbs 8:11) When going through a trial, sometimes, we ask the Lord for the wrong thing. There are times when we need to ask the Lord for “wisdom.” Wisdom will tell you where to go, what to do, and when to keep your mouth shut. Wisdom will open a door when it is closed. Wisdom brings “favor” with it.

There is a story in the Bible of a man named Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. It is found in 1st Samuel 25. To make a long story short, when David and his men were hiding from Saul, David and his men came to Nabal to ask for food for their journey. David’s men had helped Nabal’s servants when they were tending sheep and protected them, so David thought Nabal would give him food for his journey. But this man had no “wisdom.” Instead, he cursed David’s men and told them to leave. David’s men went back and told David. And now, David was out to kill this man! However, his beautiful wife, Abigail, had “wisdom.” She secretly loaded up donkeys with bread, food, wine, grapes, and all anyone could desire. She sent all these donkeys laden with food before her, and then approached David on her knees asking forgiveness and letting him know “how foolish her husband was.” It worked. David decided not to kill Nabal and his men. They ate the food and left. Later, the Lord smote Nabal and killed him, and David married Abigail. See what wisdom can do!!

“For wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.”

“How much is wisdom worth? It is priceless!” Pray for wisdom each day!

Ada was one of three children “dropped off” at Love A Child by their aunt. She told us they were all from Cap Haitian and that their parents drowned in a boat going to the States. But, of course, we have no proof of this. All we know is that we inherited three sweet children… Bianca, Ada, and Raphael. All three are so smart in school! Each of these children are obedient and respectful and we have never had any problems with them.

Ada loves to cook! She is learning all of the Haitian recipes and making some of her own. She just “adores” working in the kitchen. Ada (also called Jessica) just turned 15 years old. She is still thinking about what she wants to be in life. Ada is shy but funny. All of the kids love her! She is easy-going and quiet, unlike most of the rest. Ha!

I have told you before that the orphanage kids give each other nicknames and that sometimes the nickname doesn’t fit the kid… But, oh well, they don’t care and never get offended. Her nickname is “bef” (cow). They never get upset because each one of them has a nickname, but to me, Ada is just plain “sweet!!!” Yes, we love her! We can’t wait to see what direction her life will take!!

When I first heard Jolina’s story, I was shocked! She came from the mountains of Haiti, like many of the other Love A Child children have. Her father was murdered (shot), and her mother nearly had a nervous breakdown, with nine children to feed. Her mother brought Jolina and her cousin Daphlina, to our orphanage and asked if we could take them in. “Yes, of course,” we thought. That poor woman has enough on her shoulders. So, we brought both babies into our orphanage.

Jolina is now 13. She is very strong, athletically. She is in the 9th grade and has made really high marks in school!! She is “tough on the soccer field” and “nothing to mess with” on the basketball court! But even though she is a “toughie,” she has a very tender heart! Jolina loves children and wants to be a pediatrician!!!

Jolina is “tough on the outside” but “gentle” on the inside! Her nickname is “boutey,” which means bottle! One thing we know, Jolina’s “bottle” is full of love for children! She will make a great “pediatrician,” and most of all, she gives all the credit for her life to the Lord! We love Jolina!
