Day 293 Sterling Audience | Proverbs 25:4-7
Sterling Audience
4
Remove the impurities from silver,
and the sterling will be ready for the silversmith.
5
Remove the wicked from the king’s court,
and his reign will be made secure by justice.
6
Don’t demand an audience with the king
or push for a place among the great.
7
It’s better to wait for an invitation to the head table
than to be sent away in public disgrace.
Just because you’ve seen something,
Verses 4 and 5 say that if you remove all the evil people around the king, the king’s government will be righteous. Politicians today try to follow this advice, but the problem is that when one party gets rid of wicked people, the other party often replaces them with their own.
Jesus used Verses 6 and 7 to teach about humility. Don’t take the place of honor because you might be asked to give it up for someone else. Instead, choose a humble seat so that you can be invited to a higher position.
Think about this: Do you think you need any lessons in humility? No? Are you proud of your humility? Give it some thought.
