Proverbs 25:16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, Lest you be filled with it and vomit.” (Proverbs 25:16 NKJV)

Moderation! That's one caution this passage conveys. Every good thing, as sweet as honey, becomes bad to our well-being when taken excessively. Wisdom tells us to maximize the use of this life’s potentialities, but not to abuse it. Excess is detrimental to all aspects of living. That's an important rule to watch for life of excellence. Yes excellence! Not in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of the Lord!

As children of God, by grace through faith in Jesus, we are richly provided with every good thing to enjoy (1Timothy 6:17b). We have the Lord’s promise: "With long life, I will satisfy you and show you my salvation" (Psalm 91:16). We do not to put our hope on it, nor be arrogant and abusive with it. Our hope is in the Lord (Psalm 71:5)!

We are to set our eyes on heaven, by living with temperance, as we await upon our Lord Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul exhorts us with these words to reflect on: “Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.” (Philippians 3:17-21 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
