Which Way is it?

DEVOTION
PROVERBS
WHICH WAY IS IT
Prov 10:6
6 Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
NIV
Would I rather be blessed or overwhelmed? Let me see, I think I will choose blessed. There is of course something deeper in here than just what appears. In the sense that if I am just, if I am righteous it will be obvious for all to see. I live my life out loud and up front for everyone to notice my devotion to my God. My life is on my head, the top of my being so all can view it easily. My God is my crown, and I proudly display him n my life so he will be seen as the God he is. My life will be an open book for people to watch and observe the way he works in me, for me, and through me. But it is not so with those who are not living for God. Although I dare not refer to them as wicked, God does and they conceal the wickedness of their life within. They hide their wrong, trying with as much as they can to appear good, but it is not so. I am obligated to be the person of God he intents for me to be and I must live as such openly for all to see, no matter if they are other believers, or the wicked. That is just the way it is.
