More Hebrews and a Proverb

Hebrews just got done talking about how a bunch of the Old Testament characters had faith and because of their faith, it was counted to them as righteousness. And then it says at 11:13-16

13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

I am not a citizen of this world. I belong else where and I am awaiting my homeland and my God is not ashamed to be my God!

I laughed when I read this Proverb. It is 27:14

14 Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice,
rising early in the morning,
will be counted as cursing.

I now have a verse to tell people not to wake me because I am sleeping! Okay...well, that might be taking it a little too far
