"An empty stable stays clean -
but there is no income
from an empty stable."
~ Proverbs 14:4
 
Bible Commentary on this verse:
"It is good to be clean, but it is better to be useful.
The only way to have a perfect stable is to keep all the animals out.
The only way to keep your life in perfect order is to keep it free of other people.
But if the stable is empty, it is useless;
and if you live only for yourself, your life loses its meaning.
Instead of sitting on the sidelines,
we should serve others,
share the faith,
and work for justice.
Is your life clean, but empty?
Or does it give evidence of serving God wholeheartedly?
Be involved and productive.
