Proverbs 22:17-21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge; For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips, So that your trust may be in the Lord; I have instructed you today, even you. Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you?” (Proverbs 22:17-21 NKJV)

This is a privileged clue He gave us how we can take a strong grip of the Words of truth. We are to lean and strain our ears to catch the wise counsels of God. We must never allow any distractions to rob us from getting hold of the knowledge that brings life written in our heart - the words that adorn our lips with grace.

Yes, we are to hunger always for more of God's Words of truth and grab hold of it in the process of continuing intake and exposure day by day, and moment to moment. We must be mindful always, one of the reasons we learn the truth is so that we can pass it on to others after we have applied it to our lives. Not only are we to get saved by the truth of God's Word, but we must also minister truth everywhere we go. We are sent!

Hence, for the glory of Him who sent us, we must be ready always to articulate (in action and in words) our faith to whoever comes and ask us what we believe. Apostle Peter tasked us that with these passages: "Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.” (1 Peter 3:15, 16 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
