Proverbs 22:1 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.” (Proverbs 22:1 NKJV)

Our name is the reflection of our state of being. Who and what we are called becomes who we are. A good name is who we are in the eyes of God. And, that's what matters in life - having God's loving favor. A good name or state of being in God's eyes is only when we are hidden in Christ (Colossians 3:3). And, that is by believing in Him. As we come to Him and receive Him into our life like little children, we belong to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 19:14).

The counsel of this passage is to choose that which relate to eternal life-our good name and God's loving favor. And, not focus on storing temporal riches and wealth in this material world. God's word warns-““Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.”
(Matthew 6:19 NIV)

So, our focus is to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all the things that we need shall be given to us, as giveaway. In His Sermon on the Mount, Lord Jesus enjoins us with these words: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
