Proverbs 25:14 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Whoever falsely boasts of giving Is like clouds and wind without rain.” (Proverbs 25:14 NKJV)

In this life, there many are promises made and never kept. And, we may have been the one promised to or perhaps, unfortunately, the one who made the promise but failed to deliver. Unfulfilled promises may be caused by circumstances beyond the control and foresight of the giver or receiver or both. Those, may be, are a bit easy to let go in the hands of fate, and move on.

But, this passage is stating the fact of false promises made with intent to boast and deceive. It is likened to a passing dry cloud and blown by arid southern wind, with no rain, over a parched summer ground. Which we must not be one, I believe that's the caution we are being nudged to refrain from doing.

But in this world, we could be caught up by deception of promise boasters. Many are the hopes, dreams and lives they have broken. Sadly, we can't see the content of a person's heart. By ourselves, we are easy vulnerable targets when we cross their path.

But, if ever we have been deceived and dismayed by false boasts, we have the Lord's assurance as we hold on our faith in Jesus. It is written: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28 NIV)." Whatever the circumstance, in Christ by His grace through faith in Him, we are equipped to move on. We always have hope in the Lord. In Him we come out victorious!

Hence, the reminder is, we need to stay secure always in the mighty hands of our heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ. There, we are safe! We have guidance, and protection from false boasters, deceivers and all workers of evil. They can't snatch us from the hands of our Savior, as Lord Jesus, the One True Promise Keeper declares in His holy and written Word: “My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”” (John 10:29-30 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
