Proverbs 11:8 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead." (Proverbs 11:8 NKJV)

It is reminiscent to what happened with the Egyptian army who caught up and cornered the Israelites at the Red Sea after they have been brought out by Moses from slavery. The same sea that delivered the Israelites drowned the Egyptians. The righteous, whose trust is only in the Lord Jesus, operates under the cover of His grace.

Being righteous in the sight of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, does not exempt us from trouble. We are still in the world. Trouble is the nature of the world. But, in the Lord we are at peace. Trouble falls on the wicked. Lord Jesus warned and promised us with these words - "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] (John 16:33 AMP) 

And I say, AMEN!

It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
