Proverbs 26:7 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“The legs of the lame are not equal: So is a parable in the mouth of fools.” (Proverbs 26:7 KJV)

This passage alerts that a parable or wise teaching tool for learning is contorted and useless when uttered by the mouth of fools. It doesn't match, like the unequal limbs of a lame. Hence, any lesson, no matter how deep and profound, is meaningless coming from a fool.

This illustrative picture, of incongruity of fools with matters of wise teachings and parables, is a serious call for us to stay rooted on the path of wisdom - by reverent fear of the Lord. This is not wisdom of the world. Our litmus test is not acceptance of the world. Rather, we rest in the comfort of God's grace and peace. We are not dictated by the world’s approval rating. We have the assurance that, in Christ Jesus our Lord, in His grace the Father of glory gives us the Spirit of wisdom that the world vehemently resist (Luke 21:17).

Not as fools, but as wise, by right believing we stand on this affirming exhortation of Apostle Paul's epistle: “I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.” (Ephesians 1:16-21 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
