Grabbing His Word!
The Bible says: “I wisdom
dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and
arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding;
I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges
of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me;
yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue
than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that
love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.” Proverbs 8:12-21 (KJV)
People jumped out of cars in rush hour traffic, grabbing bags of money that fell out of a Brink's armored truck, and
apparently got away with it.
“I saw one guy strike an old lady who was reaching for
one bag,” said Willie Greenwood, who was behind the truck in his car when the Brink’s back door popped open and
out plopped the bags.
“Another guy jumped onto my bumper and leaped into the
crowd,” said Greenwood. “It went on for three or four minutes. I couldn’t move my car because there were
so many people in the street.”
Brinks’ representatives wouldn’t say how much money
was lost in the Wednesday morning rush hour scramble at the intersection of 14th and Harrison streets.
But bags of coins hit the pavement, scattering and rolling every which way and sacks of bills fell out too, according
to Greenwood, 28, a stock clerk for American President Lines.
“It was
crazy,” he said. “All the traffic stopped. People were coming from every direction. They were grabbing money and
putting it in their pockets. Old people, young people and guys in business suits.”
Would that them we and all the world would so seek to grab the wisdom and peace freely offered by the Word of God!
