Proverbs 12:23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness." (Proverbs 12:23 NKJV)

We are given a true mark of a person possessing genuine knowledge of truth - he/she is neither boastful nor showy. Which brings to mind the expression: 'Still waters run deep'. Yes indeed, as people's experience and knowledge get deeper, they become more mature and calm. While those who are not, advertise a lot their tiny minds like a fool, as a shallow water running wild with a lot of noise and foam. They blabber! They talk before thinking, mostly without even thinking what they say.

As believers in Christ Jesus, we possess the knowledge of truth. We are to behave like one. Not like fools who come pretending godliness with a lot of commotion, as Apostle Paul warned in his letter to Timothy: "But understand this that, in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth." (2 Timothy 3:1-7 ESV)

We are to avoid fools. The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' (Psalms 14:1a NIV) And, most all, be not like them, by surrendering our lives to Christ Jesus and walking in His grace. Apostle Peter counsels us with these words: “You already know these things, dear friends. So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing. Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to Him, both now and forever! Amen.” (2 Peter 3:17-18 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
