Noble
6 For fools speak folly,
their hearts are bent on evil:
They practice ungodliness
and spread error concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,
they make up evil schemes
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy is just.
8 But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds they stand. Isaiah 32:6-8
Do you think about what it means to be noble? Someone that is highborn, wellborn or kingly. In our society, there are not many people that are considered noble by human standards. According to history, nobility comes with rank and power, not something that is well-looked upon by the masses. We should probably begin by chasing the nobility we will one day receive in Heaven and focus less on what people think Noble is in this world. Maybe we need to stop and think of what else Noble could be, exemplary, outstanding and exceptional are just a couple of phrases that come to mind. If we choose to focus on being outstanding or exceptional in our walk, our true nobility will shine through. As we make plans, the deeds shine through and we can become closer to who God wants us to be. So let the fools be foolish and don't fall into their empty wicked methods that try to damage your Noble aspirations.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
