Prov 27:17
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

What a great plan God has for us. We learn from each other. Two strong believers together get better. Can't think of a better reason to be in Bible study with fellow believers.

What great promises for the righteous! Their roots are deep. They can weather the storms of life. In addition, our salvation secures our eternal home forever.

Prov 10:30a
The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land.

Prov 12:3
A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.

Prov 12:7
Wicked men are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm.

Prov 12:12
The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.

Prov 10:25
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.

The Hebrew word for stand is "amad" and means "to remain, endure, be secure". The Hebrew word for firm is "kuwn" and it means "established, unmoving, steadfast, enduring". It seems as if the two words mean nearly the same thing. And then when you add the word forever to it, it's very clear that the righteous will remain and endure for all eternity. What a great promise!
