Proverbs 26:12 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.” (Proverbs 26:12 NKJV)

Wow! Thought, no one tops a fool?! Here comes the arrogant one, the exact replica of his father the devil. His father, the devil, considers himself the apple of his own eyes. He is the greatest fan of himself. He cares of no one but self. But remember, he who once was star of the morning, was fallen. Arrogance made him think he can be like God and he rebelled against God. He exalts himself and look on others down. He and his gangs of rebellious angels were cast out of heaven. Lord Jesus said - “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, ..”(Matthew 23:12a NIV)

Anyone like this person and his father the devil, have no hope. Hence, as children of God by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, this passage is warning us not to be wise in our own eyes. We are to stay resting under the grace of our Lord. For they, who behave wise in their eyes apart from the Lord, have their fate settled. It is written: “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.” (Isaiah 14:12-15 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
