Read Proverbs 25:13

Read Proverbs 25:13  When a man or a woman works for someone else, they have responsibilities that are given to them by their bosses.  When the boss has a message to send, the boss trusts their workers that they will deliver the message on time and to the right person.  When a boss can trust his employees, he can relax and not worry.  He knows that the message arrive on time, delivered by his faithful workers.  When a farmer has crops to gather in, he needs cold weather to come at just the right time.  The cold weather makes the trees to finish up their yearly cycle and to prepare for their long winter sleep. The fruit seems to sweeten with the first blast of cold weather.  When Noah and his family came off of the ark, God sent them a reminder that He would never destroy the earth again with water.  Do you remember God's sign that He would keep His promise?  God set the rainbow in the sky to remind people that He would keep His promise.  God went on to tell Noah that He would keep the seasons faithfully coming each year: God promised Noah that every year He would bring seed time and harvest.  When the farmer in our verse feels the cold weather coming on, he knows that God is once again being faithful and is sending the cold weather to help him finish up his crops.  He knows that he can trust God and God's seasons.  That is just the way the boss feels about his faithful messengers.  He can count on them do the job that he has given them to do.  Are you faithful in your jobs?  Does your mother have to keep following you around to make sure that you do your jobs?  Does your father have to keep checking up on you?  Or can they relax knowing that you will do your jobs and faithfully finish your work?  Remember, when you are faithful and do your work, you are pleasing, not only to your parents, but also to your Lord above.  Let's be like the faithful messenger in our verse.  Let's do our work faithfully.
