When God Says …
“A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; The simple pass on and are punished.” (Proverbs 27:12 NKJV)
Naivety is not an excuse, for wading into murky waters of evil. It doesn't excuse anyone from the penalty of it - with the dangers lurking in that treacherous abyss and the consequences for wicked ways. The more so with idiocy, knowing the grave eternal ramifications of it, but still behave with contempt towards God and His love. This passage reminds that we have a choice to behave and act cunningly and wisely.
Like a prudent man, we profile our day to day encounters and choices guided by the holy and written Word of God. We veer away from evil. And, we dwell in the shelter of the Most High God, in grace by faith in Christ Jesus. We look unto Him our defender as the Psalmist declared - “But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless! Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers! Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.” (Psalm 141:8-10 ESV)
And I Say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
