Proverbs 27:15-16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, And the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.” (Proverbs 27:15-16 KJV)

This may seem biased against women knowing that Solomon, the man used by God to put this into words, was a man of many wives. But, it should be kept in mind, that the true author of this passage is the Spirit of God, as "All Scripture is God breathe" (2 Timothy 3:16).

This is therefore a warning of the reality, that in this world, there are women - and men too, who behave as such. Some people are just plain contentious - built in their system. And, this passage puts us in the know they are like a continuous drip, drip, drip of a leaky roof on a rainy day. A nagging nuisance indeed, it is. And, attempting to stop it is like grasping the wind and catching oil. Hence, this is a pop-up alert for us to find the way to avert such a place of tension. It's an irritant no one desires.

So, we should seek that sublime place of peace and rest. That place is in our Lord Jesus Christ, by receiving His gift of salvation through faith. He invites us. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”(Matthew 11:28-30 NIV)

And, He promised: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”” (John 16:33 ESV)

And I Say, AMEN!
