Title : Discretion

-
"As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. Proverbs 11:22"
Devotion : What is the meaning of Discretion? - the quality of having or showing Discernment or Good judgement; quality of being discreet. In other words CIRCUMSPECTION.
  Anyone who lacks discretion will definitely fall into a trap of sin, loose self esteem, loose glory and beauty. 
A very good example is given in the opening passage above.
 A Jewel connotes a precious thing in a swine's snout; a swine has no value for pearls. A swine by nature is not decent and no discretion for clean things. 
  Our Lord Jesus Christ confirmed this by saying that pearls should never be given to swine, Matthew 7:6.  
   Likewise a woman endowed with beauty without discretion; such are the women who use their beauty to engage in several vices such as prostitution, fornication, adultery, monopoly etc. A man too can use his wealth or position/power or handsomeness to engage in womanizing and oppression which is against the God given reason blessings.
   Precious one, what has God endowed you with? Is it wealth, position or power, use it to the glory of God; don't use it to do all manner of evil. Be wise to use what you have to please God and to support the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
