It puts everything into perspective in just a few words. <br /><br />And (sorry), verse 4 as well... humility accompanied by the fear of the Lord. The power pack of our everyday walk. Man, I wish I could write like this!Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860778037757805996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839483954961689076.post-42597130491338052112009-08-03T09:09:42.285-04:002009-08-03T09:09:42.285-04:00People have expectations with your name.

It can start early--"Oh, your so-and-so's younger sister...." says the teacher, who is then either glad to have you in class or is wishing for an early June.<br /><br />We have that expression, working to "make a name for yourself." Businesses that used to be passed from father to son and generations after. All of this implies not being "a sluggard" as Solomon warns us against. Yet it also means not working for the sake of wealth alone but for fulfilling that to which God calls us.<br /><br />As for your 2nd verse today, we do need to remember that we are all God's creation, used for His glory and purpose. We may not "get" all the people all the time, but He calls us to love them, however that love might manifest itself (and it's not the same expression for everyone--same intent, though).<br /><br />Will miss your comments later this week, but looking forward to hearing some great encouragement from your conference!Sue J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668691234427771146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839483954961689076.post-23379952801465391242009-08-03T08:46:35.835-04:002009-08-03T08:46:35.835-04:00Two verses for me today.

I see it on Twitter (ridiculous I know) but so many people look at for instance Michael Hyatt because he is the good name in publishing. People accept his ideas at their worth and respect him. A good name is worth more than wealth for sure.<br /><br />The 2nd verse for me is 2B. "The LORD is the maker of them all." This is referring to rich & poor, but I need to take it to another level...the desirable and less than desirable. So people I may not like, or they just turn me off for whatever reason. Yet, the Lord made everyone. Therefore I need to show respect to ALL people regardless of income, temperment, belief, everything.
