Proverbs - Servants vs. Sons

Proverbs 17:2

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame,
and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

The key to being raised up in responsibility and service is what we do, not what position we currently hold.  Here the Lord is letting us know that promotion will be given to those who can carry out the task best.  Here we see that we can be given opportunities that seem reserved for the elite, by being someone who doesn’t cause shame and walks in wisdom.

In our home, workplace or ministry we must make it a goal to walk in wisdom and bring honor to those who rule over us.  When we do this we are a blessing to those we serve and when our name comes up, faithfulness and diligence will be associated with it.
