Continuing my reading through Proverbs this month. I’m in chapter 13<\/a> today. Many of these proverbs reminded me of passages elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked goes out.<\/em> (13:9<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I wonder if Jesus was thinking of this proverb when he spoke his own: “Let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16<\/a>).<\/p>\n

An unreliable messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.<\/em> (13:17<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I want God to consider me a faithful envoy: “In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The one who associates with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.<\/em> (13:20<\/a>)<\/p>\n

There’s a reason parents want to know who their kids are hanging out with. “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company corrupts good morals’” (1 Corinthians 15:33<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A benevolent person leaves an inheritance for his grandchildren…<\/em> (13:22<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I think that’s just a cool mental picture. Saralynn and I look forward to having a lot of money to invest into God’s work over the remainder of our life. \u0627\u0648\u0646 \u0644\u0627\u064a\u0646 \u0631\u0648\u0644\u064a\u062a<\/a> Hopefully, we’ll teach our children God’s financial principles so they won’t need any of our money. \u062a\u0639\u0644\u0645 \u0643\u064a\u0641 \u062a\u0644\u0639\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0648\u0644\u064a\u062a<\/a> And if they won’t learn them, they won’t get any of our money! \u062a\u0639\u0644\u064a\u0645 \u0644\u0639\u0628\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0648\u0643\u0631<\/a> \u00a0: )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
