Proverbs 14:17,19 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of wicked intentions is hated. The evil will bow before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.” (Proverbs 14:17, 19 NKJV)

He warns us about the dangers of unchecked temper. We are all susceptible to this, being endowed with the ability to feel. We have emotions that can run up or down, if we fail to reign over our thermostat, and allow it to be driven by the circumstance and environment we are in. We are made aware, it is foolish. Untamed emotion carries dire consequences. Many landed in jail or worse lost lives prematurely for split-second out-burst of temper. Worst of all, heavenly inheritance could be lost due to emotions unconsecrated to God.

We are all work-in-progress. We have to keep laying-down at the foot of the cross of our Lord those wild tantrums. Those are corruptible by evil intentions. It is a handy engine of ruin for the enemy to hitch-a-ride on. We must always in the know, God loves the wise who - seeks Him, but hates the fool - he who rejects God. He makes the sinner serve at the gates of the righteous - he who pleases God by resting in grace through faith in Christ Jesus. It is written: "For to the person who pleases Him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting so that he may give to one who pleases God. This too is vanity and chasing after the wind.” (Ecclesiastes 2:26 AMP)

And I say, AMEN!
