Proverbs 11:16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"A gracious woman retains honor, But ruthless men retain riches." (Proverbs 11:16 NKJV)

He affirms that life graciously lived leaves a long lasting legacy of high esteem and recognition, while ruthlessness may gain only fleeting material riches. In the gospel Lord Jesus warned with these words - "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:25 ESV). Riches are unnecessary baggage for heaven's journey. We have to travel light!

Being redeemed by grace, we are to wear the attire of grace in our daily walk. By grace - the undeserved favor of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are saved. It is written: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— (Ephesians 2:8 NIV)

Resting in grace by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, let us be ruthless to save up not riches on earth, but treasures in heaven. In the beatitudes, Lord Jesus exhorts with these words: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Mathew 6:19-21 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
