Proverbs 14:35 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“The king’s favor is toward a wise servant, But his wrath is against him who causes shame.” (Proverbs 14:35 NKJV)

He reiterates His call for us to hold on to wisdom in all that we do. The path of wisdom may seem against the wind of the world. It would feel like swimming against the tide. But, if we just hang on for a little while, stay wise to rest in God's assurance, the head wind becomes the tailwind lifting us to soar over our situations. This reminds us the life of Joseph, who depended in God's wisdom to deal with the series of sufferings he encountered starting from the time he was sold by his brothers to slavery. Because of wisdom God has given him, from his jail cell, the king of Egypt ushered him second in command of the country, to save the people from famine. He was promoted from prisoner in Egypt to prime minister of Egypt.

On the contrary, a servant who brings evil, the king's wrath is upon him. That's what happened to Hamman, in the book of Esther, who was second in command to the king of Persia. He schemed to slew the Jews. He was thrown straight from the fame of power to the shame of the gallows, as it is written: "So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.” (Esther 7:10 NKJV)

As children of God through grace by faith in Christ Jesus, let's not be carried away by the wave of circumstances we face. Let's stay wise soaked by the power of His words, as Lord Jesus sends us with this instruction: “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."(Matthew 10:16 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
