A Good Name Takes Hard Work

“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:1‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.”  Benjamin Franklin

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.  If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”  Warren Buffett

It takes hard work and sacrifice to build a “good name” but we all know stories of people who threw it all away with one bad choice.  Let’s hold each other accountable and make sure we are not putting ourselves in situations where our “good name” can be ruined.  Let’s make sure to call out weak areas in each others lives so that none of us ends up losing what we have worked so hard to build.

“Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.”

  • William A. Ward

As I shifted through some quotes, this one struck me. You can definitely look at this like the blurb that was attached to the quote suggested. It said the quote “speaks to the importance of patience, urging us to find satisfaction and pride in even our smallest strides.” That is sound wisdom and something that we each should strive to do but I see deeper meaning in the quote. The seed we are to be sowing daily is something that will improve those around us not just ourselves. For me, as a Christian, that means telling others about the Good News that Jesus died on a cross and rose again so that we can be with God. Christians are commanded to do this very thing, but we can’t save a single person. It is only by Christ that any man is saved so continue to plant seeds daily and let God worry about the harvest.

MOLESKIN:

“Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, so that “‘they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.’” And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them. And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.””
