Making A Name

Read: Proverbs 10:1-17

The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. —Proverbs 10:7

Bible In One Year: Joshua 10-12; Luke 1:39-56

---

In the mid-1800s, Texas rancher Samuel Augustus Maverick refused to brand his cattle. When neighboring cowboys came upon a calf without a brand, they called it a "maverick." The word entered the English language and came to refer to a person who takes an independent stand and refuses to conform.

Other names have become words that describe a person's character and behavior: Judas and Benedict Arnold both mean "traitor." An Einstein is a genius, while a Solomon is a wise man.

Few of our names will become part of a language, but they signify who we are and how we have lived—today and for generations to come. Solomon said, "The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. . . . He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known" (Proverbs 10:7,9).

When we think of someone we know and admire, the words we associate with that person's name are usually the character traits we'd like to have as well. Honesty, generosity, and love often head the list. We see these in our Lord Jesus Christ, who allows us as Christians to bear His name.

Today, the Lord wants to work in us to make our name one that points to Him. —David McCasland

I'd rather die than bring disgrace
Upon my Lord, His name debase;
So I will live my life each day
To honor Christ and walk His way. —Hess

When others think of you, do they think of Jesus?

Mornin' to Military Monday at the Finest.

Blue skies over The Big Valley again today, but temperatures a slight bit lower than last week. Saturday's rally for our troops was great day in the sun.

In honor of those who gave all...

[dixie sass]

Evening everyone! I'm tired!! What a great weekend!
