The Proverbs Of Solomon Chapter 27:21-27

[quote]The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.[/quote]

That's right! Reputation and integrity follow you all the days of your life. A good reputation is very important.

[quote]Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.[/quote]

HA!! Isn't THAT the truth!

[quote]For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.[/quote]

Right. Can't take it with us!
But our crowns in heaven will last forever.


[quote]25
When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself,
And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26
The lambs will provide your clothing,
And the goats the price of a field;
27
You shall have enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And the nourishment of your maidservants.
[/quote]

God always rewards hard work...not laziness. He even says don't be a sluggard....let the ways of the Ant guide you. They are a lot smarter than some humans. They prepare for the future. We need to prepare for our future...for meeting Jesus face-to-face.

I guarantee that you that you don't have enough goats milk for your household.

And if a man is valued by what others say of him you're in trouble. Lol
