Proverbs 29:3 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says...

“Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: But he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.” (Proverbs 29:3 KJV)

He gives two contrasting types of sons to show us a picture of two lifestyles with the impact they make. One son loves wisdom. Hence, he is wise, duh! The other son seeks loose living with unsavory characters. And, it leads him to riotous living, like that prodigal son who gave his father pains and longings, as he went to a far country. He wasted the resources he extorted from his father. Thence: “After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need” (Luke 15:14 NIV). It does not fail, ‘company with harlots spent his substance.’ The outcome is conspicuously familiar.

While a child who loves wisdom and follows the cues of God's Word is a father's delight knowing that the child he loves is in a safe place. Scripture says: “Wisdom and money can get you “almost” anything, but ONLY WISDOM CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE”(Ecclesiastes 7:12 NLT). That's a delightful reassuring promise. Not just to a parent, but to a wise child, as well, most importantly.

So, as the beloved of the Lord who rest in His grace by faith in Christ, it is always good to be circumspect in our walk in life. Guided by His Words and led by the Holy Spirit, Apostle Paul exhorts us to: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV)

And I Say, AMEN!
