O ~ This is true in the community, but it is not true in the Kingdom of God. A person’s value is not based on what others say. This proverb shows us how the world works, not entirely how the Kingdom works. It is important to have a good name, and people do ‘value’ us with that - but our reputation does not determine our worth.
A ~ I’ve seen recently people throw their reputation away - or at least tarnish it - by losing credibility because of the voice on politics, covid, black lives matter, and other issues. Oh that was would be willing to lose our credibility because of our love for people, and our proclamation of the gospel.
P ~ Lord, of all the things that matter.... like we sang on Sunday... “I am who You say I am”.
