Can you find silver Mexican peso?

You won’t get one going to a bank, even a bank in Mexico. Neither will you find one in the change you receive from purchasing something at a store, even a store in Mexico. And I doubt you would find one by going to any major city in the world, standing on a busy street corner, and asking 50 passersby if they have one in their pocket. (You probably wouldn’t find any by asking 50,000 passersby!)

But I can find one!

It’s all in looking in the right places.

But never mind a silver Mexican peso. What about this next “item”?

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies” (Proverbs 31:10).

I can!

And again, it’s all in looking in the right places.

I can find virtuous women in my home and in my church.

Praise the Lord!

So many men to fear.

I might fear those who criticize me, those who don’t trust me, those who look down their noses at me.

I might fear those who wish me personal harm or those who dislike me (and/or my views).

I might fear terrorists as well as leaders of countries like Iran, North Korea, Russia, and China.

“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25).

Trust in God.

Only in Him will I find security and safety.

That’s a very good reminder for me.
