Proverbs 27:20 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Hell and destruction are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied.” (Proverbs 27:20 KJV)

What an ominous truth it is! Not only that hell is a very glaring reality, there's always room available for anyone who chooses destruction and torment, this passage reveals. And, sadly, the lustful eyes of humanity play in concert to fill it. Yes, that's the irony of it. The desires of the eyes un-checked bring man's own ruin in Hades.

Lord Jesus, out of His much love for us, warned in His Words- “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”(1 John 2:15-17 NIV)

Hence, in the presence of the Lord extolling the glory of His face, the psalmist declares- “As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.”(Psalms 17:15 NIV)

So, to keep our greedy eyes from drawing us to fill the vacancy in hell, coming to the grace of Christ Jesus by faith is our only way of safety. He is our only source to have contentment and satisfaction. “Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35 ESV)

And I Say, AMEN!
