Proverbs 16:27-28 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“An ungodly man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire. A perverse man sows strife, And a whisperer separates the best of friends.”(Proverbs 16:27, 28 NKJV)

He calls us out to stop the habit of gossip and vindictiveness. Yes, that practice of exhuming rotten carcasses of evil pasts! It produces nothing good, but builds conflict and strife like a raging wild fire. It would raze everything on its path to ashes. Piles of debris and collateral damages follow its wake. Broken relationships are its prized casualties. Those are the kind of specialty skills of the ungodly. And, God hates such doings, as Scriptures declare: "I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride.” (Psalms 101:5 NLT)

Rather, as the redeemed of the Lord through faith in Christ Jesus, Apostle Paul instructs us with these words: "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31, 32 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
