Hello!

We're in Season 2 of the Being Podcast: New Life!  Today we'll be going through Proverbs 27:17-27.  We're going to treat it a bit different since the content is much simpler and straight forward.  I'll read through the passage twice, once for your to hear and process it, and a second time for you to mediate on it and ask God to show how you can apply this wisdom do your life.


Your Face Mirrors Your Heart

17 You use steel to sharpen steel,
    and one friend sharpens another.

18 If you care for your orchard, you’ll enjoy its fruit;
if you honor your boss, you’ll be honored.

19 Just as water mirrors your face,
so your face mirrors your heart.

20 Hell has a voracious appetite,
and lust just never quits.

21 The purity of silver and gold is tested
    by putting them in the fire;
The purity of human hearts is tested
    by giving them a little fame.

22 Pound on a fool all you like—
you can’t pound out foolishness.

23-27 Know your sheep by name;
    carefully attend to your flocks;
(Don’t take them for granted;
    possessions don’t last forever, you know.)
And then, when the crops are in
    and the harvest is stored in the barns,
You can knit sweaters from lambs’ wool,
    and sell your goats for a profit;
There will be plenty of milk and meat
    to last your family through the winter.
