PROVERBS 22:1–12
During a hotel stay in a small town, a man noticed a church service with a large crowd, both young and old. He assumed it was a funeral, possibly celebrating the life of a local hero, a wealthy businessperson, or a famous personality. “It is a remarkable attendance for a funeral; it must be for a well-known person in the community,” he commented to the desk clerk, curious.
The man said, “No. He was a good man, even though he was not wealthy or well-known.”
The proverb “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches” (Proverbs 22:1) emphasises the importance of leaving a lasting legacy for family, friends, and neighbors. From God’s perspective, it is not about wealth or a resume, but about the kind of life we lived.
Live to leave a legacy for God’s glory.
