BIBLE TEXT: Proverbs 3:13-18
[13]Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
[14]For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
[15]She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
[16]Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
[17]Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
[18]She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
HYMN FOR TODAY: What a wonderful day, Day I will never forget.
