Blessings or Rot?
“Blessings or Rot?”
Blessings folk!
Are you pursuing righteousness with all you heart, mind, soul and strength?
Hear the the Word of the Proverbist! (Is that a word? Autocorrect says “no”. It is now!)
Pro 10:6-7
Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot.
Blessings are poured out upon the head of the righteous.
Blessed will the righteous be in the memory of others.
The wicked?
Their mouth conceals violence.
Oh, they sound good.
They look good.
But, underneath, in the depths of the heart, lies the wickedness of the evil one concealed.
Their name will not be blessed.
Their name will rot.
Rather graphic.
Which name do you desire?
Which life do you desire?
Which legacy?
Blessed?
Wicked?
A legacy of righteousness and blessing?
A legacy of concealed violence and rottenness?
Pro 22:1
A good name is to be more desired than great wealth,
Favor is better than silver and gold.
Ecc 7:1
A good name is better than a good ointment,
And the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth.
