“But he who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands.” Is.32.8 ESV
We may well ask what does it mean to be noble. The word is one of those expressions that congers in me some undefined notion of goodness but which I often find difficult to visualize. This particular Hebrew word is often translated “generous” or describes liberality in giving. In other words, a generous person is a noble person. Giving is a noble thing and when we give to others, we are being noble. It may be said that nobility grows out of noble actions. Any resolutions I would make this year that are noble will most likely involve generosity towards others rather than just the usual fair of seeking a personal benefit such as losing weight. Of course looking after your health for the sake of those you love may turn a self centered action into a noble one. 1/2/2009 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
