When God says...
“An evildoer gives heed to false lips; A liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue.” (Proverbs 17:4 NKJV)
He features notable characteristics of a person living in the ways of evil. He is one whose life follows the cadence ordered by deceitful lips. He is one whose ears enthusiastically lean to malicious tongue that breeds un-remorseful deceits and hostile songs.
That is not the way we are designed to behave. As believers in Jesus, we have been washed of the stain of lies. Now living under the rhythm of grace, our walks are to be in concert with love, in grace and truth. Our ears should incline only to the voice of the Holy Spirit and the Lord’s holy and written Words. We are to grow strong in The Lord!(Ephesians 6:10)
We are to grow and mature in the knowledge of the truth of God’s holy and written Word. We need it in our walk in this treacherous forest of a world under the control of evil (1 John 5:19). Referring to those who have a personal relationship with Jesus by faith, Apostle Paul entreats us with this plea: "No prolonged infancies among us, please. We’ll not tolerate babes in the woods, small children who are an easy mark for impostors. God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love—like Christ in everything. We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do. He keeps us in step with each other. His very breath and blood flow through us, nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God, robust in love.” (Ephesians 4:14-16 MSG)
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.)
