Proverbs 22:10 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife and reproach will cease.” (Proverbs 22:10 NKJV)

He gives us a serious command that we must not neglect to follow through. Contention, strife and reproach are not the kind of environment for us to be in. It steals our joy and our peace. This kind of atmosphere creates dark storms of anxiety and unrest that create havoc in our life. This is the kind of ambience you get when scorners and scoffers are around. At the first sign of its presence, these must be cast out and must not be allowed to linger.

We are not designed to have those critters around us, as children of God through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. We are designed to dwell in a peaceful habitat where we can have an intimate prayerful fellowship in the Spirit with our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ. We must enter to dwell in a place where the transcending shalom (peace) of God pervades. And, that place is in our regular appointment of solitude in spirit with our Lord Jesus Christ. As it is written, here’s what we do resting in His grace. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6, 7 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.)
