Proverbs 25:23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“The north wind driveth away rain: So doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.” (Proverbs 25:23 KJV)

This passage is reminding that gossips and slanders should not have a place in our place of habitation. Our clear displeasure over it should be expressed to cut it out and drive it away, like wind from the north drives off rain. When Siberian north wind blows through the land of the Bible, it brings fair cold breeze in, and drives the rain away. It signals a pleasant day for enjoying the pleasure of nature and picnic in a cool summertime.

That's what our facial look of displeasure does over people who talks behind the back of others around us. And, it serves as a pop-up alert that they will be talking about you when you are not around. Our countenance should expressly send off a look of loving rebuke. When signs of gossip appear, it must be killed right there, lest it grows like perennial thistles and weeds. It destroys harmonious lives in loving relationships.

As God’s children of grace by faith in Christ Jesus, we are to be mindful always that God's Word through Apostle Paul says - “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” (Ephesians 4:29 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
