A wise son

 A wise son

In the book of Proverbs we read,

“He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.”Proverbs 10:5.

The writer of proverbs reminds us that we should be like the wise son or daughter. 

We know that Christ could return at any moment. Thus we should be using this time to not only harvest souls for Christ, but drawing closer to Christ in our daily lives.

Jesus tells this parable,

“And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.  He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' 

"Then he said, ‘This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.  

And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ' 

"But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' 

"This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God." Luke 12:16-21.

As believers in Christ Jesus we need to study the scriptures and draw close to God. While at the same time presenting the Gospel message to those around us.

Please think about it.
