Sons of Belial: Known as they Where

     II Kings 21:9-10 "And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die."


     Jezebel wanted someone to do her dirty work- and she knew exactly who to call. The 'sons of Belial' were ready to do whatever job she had for them. Jezebel knew where to get help- whoever these men were, they're reputation preceded them. But it was a bad reputation.

     How do people know you? When an elderly person in your church has a need, are you the first person they think of that could help? Or is it that when some mischief has happened in school, are you the first one thought of? 

    A reputation is a priceless thing. Proverbs says, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches..." A good reputation is hard to get and easy to lose. If you have a good reputation, hold on to it, protect it, guard it. If you don't have a good reputation, start building one today.
