How will you be Rembered?

Good Morning! Proverbs Day 10: Prov 10: 7 The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot. Do you ever wonder what people really think of you? Vs 1 A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. For many years I was the later of that, bringing grief to my father and mother. But one thing before my dad passed is he got to see me sober again! And all Praise to God! I have been that way ever since. And it is all because I learned the meaning of having some discipline in my life. Vs 17 He who heeds discipline shows the way to life. But whoever ignores correction leads others astray. In 2006 when I got out of jail, I learned a valuable lesson. For 17 months I had been told when to get up, when to eat, when to get exercise and then when to go to bed. It was a disciplined life! But when I got out I learned I had to learn this same type of disciplined life on the outside. I had to learn that, The wise heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.(Vs 8) I had to realize that I didn't know everything and I needed to be trained in the Discipline of the Lord! It was at that point in my life, (Cause I had started using again) I knew I had to do something. So I called Denny the founder of Christian Love Ministries and asked for advice. He let me come up and live in the Half Way House, where I did for 8 months. It was up there that I learned many things covered in this Proverb today like, Vs 4 Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. And that, Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. (Vs 12) And that, The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse. So your probably asking yourself by now, What has this got to do with how I will be Remembered? Well let me ask you this? How do people look at you today? For me I remember all the looks of disappointment I used to get when I was Drinking and Drugging and getting into all kinds of trouble. Vs 23 A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom. But today, I don't see those looks anymore cause I have found something that gives me hope in life, I have found the one true thing that gives me Joy in life, and that is Jesus Christ. Vs 28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. I have learned today that it is not about what people will think about you when you are gone, but it is what they see you doing today. Vs 21 The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgement. Are you nourishing people with Gods Word today. What you are today, is how people will remember you tomorrow! And with that I'll leave you with this last Vs 6 Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. HABD!
