When God says...
"The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor. But, through knowledge the righteous will be delivered." (Proverbs 11:9 NKJV)
We are warned that a sanctimonious character could be embedded in our neighborhood. They are good pretenders, who blend wherever they are, like a chameleon. They can act like they are for you. They patronize your values, sadly by well-devised art of pretenses. The intent is to trip you off. Push you down flat on your face to ruin you. Ill-equipped, one would be at risk.
But, with knowledge, by right standing with God through faith in Christ Jesus, we are delivered from their destructive schemes. God equips us with wisdom and discerning spirit. His protection is over us. His Word promised, as it is written - "The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121:7, 8 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. 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.)
