Proverbs 25 - Gail
Hi guys. =) Didn't get to use the computer really yesterday, ha ha, so hopefully, so here I am today. =)
Verse 14, though in a way silly, stuck out for me yesterday:
"Like clouds and wind without rain,
Is a man who boasts of his gifts falsely."
Muah hah. I kept thinking it was going to rain yesterday. Not during the day, really, but towards the night, as the daytime, there were thick clouds, a chilly wind, and at night, when playing with a telescope, I felt a bit of drizzle, and the clouds kept moving and covering the stars we were trying to focus on.
And yet, it didn't rain.
Boastful clouds. ^_^
In the same way though, that relates to those who boast falsely, who show off what, well, they really don't have, or even advertisements that make promises that aren't real or that they can't keep. Our school promised every kid that improved their API score from last year a free ticket to Pharoahs - a promise that was never kept, impossible to keep, and empty, made from last year's principal. I had about 2 or 3 kids ask me about it (most had forgotten) on Friday, and when I asked around, it turns out it's not going to be fulfilled. This year's principal, who's new, can't keep a promise he never made, as he wasn't sure what the plans were to do that. Last year's principal - well, he knew he was leaving. And yet, he made a big, boastful-cloud-promise that never rained.
