What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Proverbs 25:14 What does it mean?"
Answer
The provided documents contain no direct exposition or mention of Proverbs 25:14 (\"Like clouds and wind without rain, so is a man who boasts with a deceitful gift\"). Instead, the texts deal generally with the effects of boasting, false testimony, and the contrast between empty words and a steadfast Christian life.
It is emphasized that boasting and insincere speech undermine a person's influence and act as a hindrance to the faith of others. True Christian greatness is not shown in many words or self‑glorification, but in faithful and quiet service before God.
Faithful Service Instead of Empty Boasting
»We all have work to do for the Master; we all have talents that we must improve. ... They are not required to tire themselves with worries about success. They only need to move forward, not with many words and the pursuit of fame and boasting, but calmly and faithfully do the work that God's providence has assigned to them, and they will not lose their reward.«
