Proverbs 26:6 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool Cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.” (Proverbs 26:6 KJV)

When a communication needs to be sent through a messenger or emissary, who we choose to deliver it, matters. Faithfulness and reliability are vital qualities, knowing that communications are critical in all human relationships, business endeavors, and social contact interactions. With a fool, who disdains God, as messenger, would be a disaster. It could create havoc when a wrong message is delivered or a message is wrongly delivered.

Choosing a fool as courier, amputates the feet, which signifies that your message won't be delivered at all. It ends up hurting and destroying the intent of your message. Like in our present day messaging tools, great caution needs to be employed. Careless use of wrong conveyors could be like cutting off your feet… or drinking in damage… injury… hurt… destruction.

On a deeper look, in Christ being His redeemed possession by grace through faith, we ourselves are emissaries. We ought not as fools. We are to deliver the message of hope and life. Let's be reminded, “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20-21 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
