Proverbs 12:6 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"The words of the wicked are, “Lie in wait for blood,” But the mouth of the upright will deliver them." (Proverbs 12:6 NKJV)

He exposes contrasting comparison of words spoken by the abundance of their heart between a righteous and a wicked. When a wicked speaks, though it sounds honest and well intentioned, it is a deception - a trap to draw blood upon its innocent victim. The wicked only knows mischief, whose words lie in wait to destroy. Its tongue is a sword ready to hurt unsuspecting people who stand in its way.

We are to be discerning, watchful and prayerful, as believers in Christ Jesus, who and how we engage the people around us. We are to be aware that there are 4 types of people - the adders, the subtracters, the multipliers and the dividers. We should do our best to prayerfully stay away from the subtracters and dividers. Choose to be around the adders and multipliers - preferentially the exponential multipliers. The upright as they speak, the words of their mouth deliver us from the destructive words of the wicked. As the wicked vilifies, the upright edifies.

We ought to follow the way of the upright. Be adders and multipliers. Let's be edifiers, as Apostle Paul exhorts us with these words - "God didn’t set us up for an angry rejection but for salvation by our Master, Jesus Christ. He died for us, a death that triggered life. Whether we’re awake with the living or asleep with the dead, we’re alive with him! So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you’re already doing this; just keep on doing it. (1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 MSG) 

And I say, AMEN!
