Proverbs 17:1
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,
than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
For the fourth time, Solomon reminds us of what true riches look like.
... the fear of the Lord (15:16)
... love (15:17)
... righteousness (16:8)
and now
... quietness
It is easy to be taken in by covetousness,
but there are things that money can not buy that are available to all -
or at least all who will turn to God.
Quietness is a true gift.
Only God can give true peace.
Do you cultivate peace in your home through a genuine relationship with God?
Is there an air of rest?
Are you a calming influence or an escalator of stress in the home?
Do the children know how to be still?
Do you soothe stress or encourage strife?
Better is little, a dinner of herbs, and a dry morsel
with the fruits of a godly home ...
