Proverbs 25:28 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“He that hath no rule over his own spirit Is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.” (Proverbs 25:28 KJV)

Here is described a short-fused man who just lets the handle fly, swiftly. He is one whose character flaw makes him a slave to his emotions and feelings. No self-control and unable to rule over his inner being, he is likened to a broken city, fully exposed to its adversaries.

This analogy of a city without walls signifies absence of protection and security. It is akin to our present day internet without a 'firewall' to ward off malwares and viruses that dominate the cyber space. That's the state of being a man without self-control. He is totally exposed to the dangers of the world. Like a hacked network, He is a broken man!

Hence, this is a call for us to be strongly fortified by yielding and surrendering to God, through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord, by His grace. In Him, we have a shield being Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29). We receive the promised protection God declared to Abraham: “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”” (Genesis 15:1 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
