Having an abundance of things is what this nation is about. In fact, every person on this planet has a goal of having an abundance or being rich. Material possession to many is at the center of their\u00a0existence and it is becoming more attainable each day. Today, more and more opportunities are becoming available to reach the very riches we desire. For example, reality\u00a0TV\u00a0shows and gaming such as the lotto and casinos are becoming popular. But, riches have a tendencies of flying away pretty fast as Solomon stated in Proverb 23:5\u00a0Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone\u00a0<\/span>for they will surely sprout wings\u00a0and fly off to the sky like an eagle. There are certain things in life that do not fly away. They tend to last a long time; they are unbreakable, not for trade or give away, more valuable then gold, and can give others a joy beyond explanation. They are eternal virtues; I call them God things and prudence is one of those.Proverbs 19:14<\/span><\/div>\n
14\u00a0<\/sup>House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the\u00a0Lord.<\/span><\/div>\n

Solomon makes it clear that here in earth the riches and properties are earthen things, but virtues such as prudence comes from the Lord. And, we know that the things that come from God are eternal; they last a very long time. During the great depression and the recent recessions many people became so depressed they looked for ways to take their lives. Their were many who because of their wise investments gained income during those times too. Now, prudence is defined as\u00a0careful in providing for the future; wise or judicious in practical affairs.\u00a0It comes from the Lord; prudence. It deals with foreseeing the future and preparing for it. When we use prudence God becomes part of the equation. David was a prudent man he had a reputation among the natives that identified him as having God with him (1Sam. 16:18). When we act with prudence others will see God in us. A prudent person reveals within him knowledge (Prov. 12:23). David knew how to play the harp which produced healing and God’s word is that harp the proverb says that it does good like a medicine. King Saul had departed from God and was troubled by a spirit. The prudence in David gave fruit of healing via the harp. And, so, he was revealed to having what the king needed. We have what this society needs it is concealed in us God’s word and it heals (Ps. 107:20 and Pr. 4:22). The word of God via music creates a healing sphere. According to a report in\u00a0CNN.com<\/a>\u00a0there is evidence that music affects the healing process in us. Prudence, a virtue that is from God with powerful effects on others.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
