Proverbs 21:8 The way of man is fraudulent and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right. A Christian is like the rose that drinks the dew as the sunbeam opens all its folds, then sheds a grateful fragrance on the wings of every gentle breeze which blows across it. Like also the rose, which spreads its varied colours to the sight of each beholding eye, proclaiming thus His glory; the glory of Him who sustains the shining sun, and sends refreshing morn and evening dew. So, the believer drinking of the flowing streams of love Divine, the heart-cheering promises of grace, with generous heart and bounteous hand, diffuses blessings like a fragrance around him, and blesses the place where he dwells. (H. G. Salter.) Parallel Verses KJV: The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.WEB: The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright. |
