Proverbs 13:13 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded." (Proverbs 13:13 NKJV)

He puts us in the know - a person does not just stumble into destruction. The state of a crumbling life is not an accident. It is a choice - to reject God and His Words. It is the result of a series of bad decisions and wrong turns. It starts with small ones (as seemingly harmless as 'white lies', they say) and grows larger and larger as it gains momentum towards its state of clutter, which ultimately brings death if not snapped off to turn to God, receive the Lordship of The Lord Jesus Christ by faith and cleave on the counsel of His Words.

Those wrong actions are borne out of rejection of God and disdain of His Words. When God gives us His commands, it is not to give us a list of “Nos” and “Don’ts”. He gives us the BIBLE - 'Basic Instruction Before Living Earth', to prepare and position us for eternal life. His words show us what leads to life and what leads to death.

Despise of His Words keeps a person in the dark which leads to condemnation and judgment. Embrace of His commands in reverent fear brings reward of eternal life. Lord Jesus declared this assurance to the disciples: "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. (John 6:63 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
