Proverbs 16: 30-31

Proverbs 16:30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
 
These two verses are so much a contrast to each other. Verse 30 is talking about the evil man again and how he meditates on devising things to say to talk people into following in his wicked ways. This is helping us to see we need to keep our eyes wide open so we do not fall prey smooth talking this person does to bring his evil to pass. Now the other verse shows us a totally different kind of man. This is talking of man who is on up in age that has lived the righteous life and by the gray hair, being his crown of glory here, is ready for the reward he has worked for in his life. Getting old is blessing and a reward for living the life God has laid out for us. We need to pursue the crown of glory we will receive in Heaven every day by giving God the glory He deserve for doing what He did for us.
