Luke 16:19• 19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: (Luke 16:19)
• (Samech) Not only has she sufficient to clothe her household and herself, but her unwearying industry enables her to produce linen garments and girdles for the caravan-merchants, who readily purchase the work of her hands, to carry them to distant places. Thus she is “bearing fruit in good works,” and her abundant labors provide clothing for those far-removed from her own dwelling. The spiritual lesson is easily seen. She who is faithful in ministering at home, and clothes herself in a garment of practical godliness and righteousness, will have enough and to spare for the blessing of others in “the regions beyond.” (“Proverbs Thirty-One” by H.A. Ironside)
