Proverbs 17:12 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, Rather than a fool in his folly.” (Proverbs 17:12 NKJV)

This passage tells us that it is safer to encounter an angry bear than a charming fool in his seemingly harmless foolery. Yes, a bear can be extremely destructive and fatal. Yet, it can only harm and take the physical body. But, the foolishness of fools can lead to eternal death of one's soul. If ever, but should be avoided as much as possible, better take the confrontation with the bear than cavorting with a nincompoop.

A classic song said it right, “fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” This character rushes in like a ‘femme fatale’ and robs a person's true essence of living. Humanity's core purpose is to fear the Lord! For God will bring every deed into judgement… (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). Fools' rejection of God puts him in the most dangerous list. Every precious child of God who has been saved by the blood of Jesus by faith, and who are reborn to a new life in Spirit, must avoid and resist him.

Let’s beware! And be it known that the Word of the Lord says- “Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!” (Psalms 14:1 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
