People of the Kingdom
Scripture – Proverbs 14:11-12: 11The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish. 12There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
Reflection: These are very interesting words that have been chosen. They highlight the difference between the world’s perspective and that of the Kingdom.
The “house” of the wicked will not last. The things of this world will not last. Believe me, I know how attractive things are and how tempting it is to acquire them. A house is one of primary things for a lot of people. That’s one reason the current foreclosure business is so frightening. What seems so solid and secure will not last.
In light of that, the “tent” of the upright will flourish. As people of the Kingdom we recognize every thing here is temporary. We are free from the need to chase after them. We are free to follow Christ and continue His ministry.
What’s one thing you could stand to loosen your grip on today? Let it go and see what happens.
