Day 104 Thunder and Vinegar | Proverbs 10:25-26

Thunder and Vinegar

25 

When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away,
     but the godly have a lasting foundation.

26 

Lazy people irritate their employers,
     like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes.

Verse 25

A storm will sweep away wicked people because they have no firm security. But God will keep safe the person who trusts in him.

See Matthew 7:24-27.

Verse 26

There is humour in this verse. If you send a lazy man with a message, your message may never arrive. Instead, send a wise man with the message. It will soon arrive.

Vinegar does set people’s teeth on edge and smoke stings

the eyes and makes it hard to see – both unpleasant experiences.

Equally unpleasant and frustrating is the experience of sending

someone to do a job when that person hates to do any work.

Contemplate: Do good guys come out on top more

than bad guys? Forgetting money, after a disaster, do good guys

have a more meaningful life than bad guys?
