PROFITING FROM PROVERBS

“My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver” (Proverbs 8:19 KJV).

“My fruit,” what you get from believing on Jesus, “is better than gold, yea fine gold.”

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (II Corinthians 4:17 KJV).

Some people are looking for honor down here, well, you had better wait for durable honor. Wait for the kind of honor that will last. Take the sports heroes of twenty years ago, except for a very small number, no one remembers them today. For every Bogart or Cagney, there are a hundred movie stars that no one remembers today. When we go to heaven and receive riches and honor at the hand of Jesus Christ, no one will forget us. We are talking about a durable honor and riches. The fruit of serving our Saviour.

“. . . fine gold,” that is refined gold, the best you can ever get. It’s a fair sight better than 24k gold that people seem to go crazy over here.

“. . . and my revenue than choice silver,” we all know about the internal revenue or as some might refer to it as the infernal revenue, but we have an eternal revenue. Here is the payoff. Yes, whether you are right with God or wrong with God, there is a “payday, someday” –will it be based upon “wood, hay, or stubble” or “gold, silver, precious stones.”

Proverbs has 31 chapters, and most months have 31 days, so let's read a chapter of Proverbs a day and see what God might have for us. As the Lord leads, share with us what God has shown you in a special way and by His grace let us build up a devotional repository. Let's keep our knives and forks handy for some daily bread! Ideally, a chapter or two of Proverbs will fit in nicely with a good plan of reading our Bibles through each year.

If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.
