Proverbs 7:22-23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life." (Proverbs 7:22, 23 NKJV)

This shows how vulnerable a person who fails holding on to wisdom in God's Word. He is likened to an ox led to the butcher's shop. He surrenders his eternal soul for a moment of passion. Without second thought, he goes for her, mindless of its dire consequence, even though he knows it will cost him his life.

And, when the arrow of reality hits its deadly target, then he would know doomsday has come. Instant regrets flashes. In split second he remembers. God called him to get wisdom in His word. He was forewarned, as we all are. But, listen he did not. Now, reckoning is come.

As a child of God through faith in Jesus, let's not behave like a fool. Rather let's hang on to His word. His word is our help. It is written: "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
