Proverbs 29:1 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says...

“He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” (Proverbs 29:1 KJV)

This describes a person that doesn't learn. One who is an antithesis of who is wise to learn from others, from father and mother, from teachers, friends, authority figures, or even adversaries and rivals. They are warned of a swift unredeemable destruction. But, those who are wise, listen to divine counsel. They intentionally watch and observe pointers for how to live God's way. And, they learn from every available hallowed sources, most especially God's holy and written Words.

We are made aware, what the symptoms are of a fool, to ensure we avoid having it. The act of defiance and stiff-necked attitude are postures for imminent fall. This passage is an alert of a lesson that needs to be learned from 'Humpty Dumpty', who had a great fall and destroyed beyond repair.

Rebuke and correction are the natural expressions by those who care and love us. It saves us from the unpleasantness of this world's trappings and snares. We are precious, and the Lord loves us so much that He gave His life so we can have life abundantly (John 10:20). We should be receptive to reproach! We are the Lord's beloved sons and daughters, in Christ's grace by faith in Him. We keep neck loosened! Receive and learn! His holy and written Words remind: “And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”” (Hebrews 12:5-6 ESV)

And I Say, AMEN!
