The measure of a man, or a woman...
Wisdom of Solomon 4:7-9
But though a righteous man may die before his time,
He shall be at rest.
For old age is not honored for its length of existence,
Nor measured by its number of years;
But discernment is gray hair for mankind,
And a spotless life is the maturity of old age.
Personal Challenge...
How is it that our culture, our society, has evolved to the state that the value of a man, or a woman, is measured by how much stuff they have accumulated? We are reminded here that it should be measured by the spotlessness and discernment in which we have lived our lives. In the end it does not matter what we have accumulated, for we cannot take that with us, but by that which we have left behind us in the lives of those whom we have touched. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
