Proverbs 25:14
Whoso
boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
When
interviewing for a job or making ourselves available for a task, we should
never overstate our abilities. We will
be like clouds and wind without rain.
Farming communities look to the clouds and wind as sources of water to
help produce strong and healthy crops.
Those who hire us or use us will look to us to produce the skills and
talents we have stated we have. Let us
be clear and honest with our experience and skills when others are looking to
us to hold up our end of the bargain. We
don’t want to boast of a false gift. Let
us be plain and truthful in our assessment of our abilities. If we are unsure of these things perhaps we
could ask those we have worked for what they see as our strengths and
weaknesses. This way we can represent
ourselves in a way that doesn’t leave room for us to feel overwhelmed by the
expectations of those we serve.
