Once there was a woodpecker pecking on a tree when a bolt of lightning struck the tree and split it right down the middle. The woodpecker flew away but returned in a few minutes with three of his friends and said, "There it is gentlemen, look at what I did."
Many there are who desire to impress others. Many there are today who want others to think that they were something they are not. This was the sin of the Pharisees during the days of the Lord's ministry upon the earth.
Things have not changed. There are many today who are more concerned about their reputation than they are character. Reputation is what people think you are; character is what God knows you are.
Take care of your character, and your reputation will take care of itself.
The old Testament prophet Obadiah said, "The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee."
THOUGHT TO PONDER
MOST PEOPLE SPEND MONEY THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUY THINGS THEY DON'T WANT TO IMPRESS PEOPLE THEY DON'T LIKE!
