God's Word for the day

Tests in Life

When a sieve is shaken, the refuse appears,

so do a person's faults when he speaks.

The kiln tests a potter's vessels;

so the test of a person is in his conversation.

Its fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree;

so a persons speech discloses the cultivation of his mind.

Do not praise anyone before he speaks,

For this is the way people are tested.

Sirach 27:4-7

The rich young man

Then someone came to him and said, "Teacher,

what good deed must I do to have eternal life?

And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about

what is good? There is only one who is good.

If you wish to enter into life, keep the

commandments." He said to him, "Which ones?"

And Jesus said, "You shall not murder; you shall

not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You

shall not bear false witness; Honor your father

and mother; also You shall love your neighbor

as yourself." The young man said to hime, "I have

kept all these, what do I still lack?" Jesus said to

him, "If you wish to be perfect, go sell your

possessions and give the money to the poor, and

you will have treasure in heaven. then come follow me."

Mathew 19:16 - 21
