Somebody or Nobody


Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food. Proverbs 12:9

This verse could have been written in 2010! How many people do you know who pretend to be other than what they are. If we’re honest with ourselves, we could easily be placed into that category. But the point of the verse remains, people will go to great lengths to hide who they are and how much they actually have in their possession.

Lord, help us all to curb our desires to be more than who we are. We realize that You know us intimately and love us still. We implore You to help us shed pretense and wishful thinking so that we may conduct our lives in the healthy Fear of the Lord. Amen.
