I was asked about an 'ole saying' the other day, and if it was something from the bible or just an old wives tale. That got me thinking about some sayings that are scripturally true, yet worded in a worldly way. Here's the one that I was asked about...
'What goes around, comes around'........Gal.6:7 "...for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
There are many others, but I don't have time to search out their biblical locations. Anyone want to share some that they can think of?
Here's a few that came to mind...
'The proofs in the pudding'.......Mt.7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
'Time proves all things'.......Mt. 13:24-30 The parable of the Tares.
'Where the rubber meets the road'.....James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the Word, and not just hearers only, deceiving your own selves." James 2:17 "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."
'The skillet calling the pot, black'.....Mt.7:5 "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
'Give foolish men enough rope, and they'll hang themselves'.....Proverbs 12:15 "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise."
'A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.'.....James 1:3 "Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience."
'Red sky at night, sailors delight; red sky of a morning, sailor take warning.'.....Mt. 16:2-3 "...When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red..."
