I've been preoccupied with a little word lately.
It's the little helping word-be.
Webster says that it means to exist or live, to remain or continue.
I looked it up in the Strong's concordance and that was a mistake.
There were so many 'be's' that I had to skip back to the appendix and there were zillions of references for the word be, without any words to let you know the idea of the scripture.
So, I decided to wing it and just think of verses that I know of that begin with the word 'Be.'
I call this 'The Wise Bee's'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be fruitful and multiply.
Be fruitful in every good work.
Be generous and you will be prosperous.
Be kind one to another.
Be about your Father's business.
Be wary of vain philosophy.
Be thankful unto Him and bless His name.
Be strong and courageous.
Be still and know that He is God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In other words,
Live fruitfully,
Live generously,
Live kindly,
Live purposefully,
Live carefully,
Live thankfully,
Live courageously,
and Live quietly.
Live in this way.
Exist in this way.
Remain in this way.
Continue in this way.
Such a little word, "be",
but it's meaning is larger than life itself
when attached to words of wisdom.
