The book of Wisdom is describing a God-fearing person today. That person makes everyone else uncomfortable because they don’t measure up in comparison. Ever call someone a ‘Goody Two Shoes’ or ‘Teacher’s Pet’? Didn’t like them much, did you? Why? No, doubt it was because the mirror they held up toward you (not intentionally, mind you) did not reflect you in a good light. You didn’t like what you saw. I am called to be more like the ‘Goody Two Shoes’ no matter if I fall out of favor with others. In my heart, I’ll know that change is for the better. God will, too.
