Proverbs 17:10 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Rebuke is more effective for a wise man Than a hundred blows on a fool.” (Proverbs 17:10 NKJV)

God is giving a simple cue for a self-check to see what are we? Wise? Or, Fool? He is prompting us to honestly ask ourselves, are we pliant lambs or stubborn mules? These are useful questions to ask, to enable us to undertake a re-direction in our journey in this life. Or, if need be, to have a re-boot to download the renewing Spirit of the Word of God.

He is reminding us to get hold of wisdom, not foolery. Have a sheep-like attitude - hear and follow our Shepherd's voice. Listen to reproofs of God's Words and abide in it by His grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is vital! It equips us to withstand the storms of life. 

In this world, storms come. It is not a matter of if. It is a matter of when! It is written Lord Jesus said: “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” (Matthew 7:24-27 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
