Many years ago, while preparing to go to church, I found myself diligently memorizing a Bible verse. I did not know why I was doing it so diligently before church time, but I was just doing it. I arrived at church on time for Sunday School, and I was asked to share a Bible verse with them. I proudly opened my mouth and said, “Proverbs 3:35 tells us, “The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools.” Throughout life, we are handed these few moments of glory; but none of them surpasses the glory of getting to heaven, which is going to be the ultimate promotion of the wise.

Proverbs 31:30 "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised."
