Sour Notes of Praise

Week 10: Accomplishment

Accomplishment carries its own acclaim.
Proverbs 27:2

Does Albert Pujols have to advertise he is a good ball player? Did Babe Ruth? Did Mickey Mantle? Carl Yastrzemski? Roberto Clemente? Does Derek Jeter? No, their performance on the field speaks for itself.

When you are busy tooting your own horn everyone else hears sour notes. In 2nd Timothy 2: 11-16, the Apostle Paul warns Timothy to follow this proverb. Share it with everyone. “Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.”
