Making Wise Invesments

“She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night. (Proverbs 31)

Of the 4000 plus students enrolled in the various Logos schools in 30 different countries, over 60% of them would never be able to obtain an education without the scholarships provided by Logos. Orphans are being feed, curriculum produced, churches planted, Bible schools established, prisoners trained, jobs created, and the body of Christ equipped through your wise investments in Logos and I can assure you that the dividends are well worth the investment!

When you read the story of the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31, one cannot help feeling a sense of vicarious pride in her achievements through wise investments, creativity and hard work. Truly a role model for all of us! She would have a hay day on Wall Street if she were alive today, or would she?

When you move in a little closer to this wise investor you will quickly discover her motives and goals were a bit different than many of the modern day market place traders wanting only to ‘get rich quick’ regardless of the cost to others and in many cases focusing only on themselves. Not so with the Proverbs 31 Lady. Her focus was on her family, friends and those less fortunate than herself. Oh yes, she invested to make a profit and took that profit and re-invested for even greater profits and then cheerfully shared the increase with others. Her wise investments produced great dividends for herself and her family.

You will note that she invested in the tangible and intangible. Her tangible investments were in products such as real estate, produce, goods and services, etc. And the intangibles were represented by her family, friends and the poor. Her tangible investments produced tangible returns and her intangible investments produced the blessings and favor of God on all that she touched!!

Having invested in Logos over the years, you know exactly what I mean. While you may not see Logos listed on your investment portfolio showing the percentage of your gain or loss, I can tell you that there is an increase on your investment. Both in heaven and on the earth!

Through your investment in the ministries of Logos around the world the dividends are increasing and even compounding daily.
