Will Eat Its Fruit

Proverbs 27:13-19 – Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider. If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse. A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever protects their master will be honored. As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.

Luke 19:26 – “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.

2 Timothy 2:6 – The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.

Application:

  • ·         Those who seek spiritual gain in the gospel, for themselves and others, will become richer, and those who neglect or squander what is given then will become impoverished, losing even what they have.
  • ·         Dedicated effort will be rewarded.
  • ·         The condition of one’s heart indicates one’s true character.
