Proverbs 22:1
A good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and loving favour
rather than silver and gold.
Great riches are not always a great blessing. When they are held in trust for God, they afford the opportunity of giving a vast amount of happiness to the benefactor as well as to those benefited. But we recall other riches, which do not consist in what a man has, but in what he is. There are four levels of human experience: To have, To do, To know, and To be. With these in their order they are like iron, silver, gold, precious stones.
Some of these riches I have listed here: A good name and loving favor, The faith that hides in God, True humility and godly fear, The child like heart, The beautiful eye and open hand with purity of heart and diligence, If only we would cultivate the inward graces and gifts of our soul, all who feel our influence would be enriched.
Amen!
