When God Says...
“Scornful men bring a city into a snare: But wise men turn away wrath.” (Proverbs 29:8 KJV)
He is nudging us that the scorners of the world are setting the nations on the snare and kept it blazing on fire of wrath. Until those arsonists in the political, economic, social and media demagoguery are locked up where they belong, this world continues to burn. And, there will be nothing left but ashes of regrets. Those blabbers are inflaming people's emotions and minds using the power they have gotten from the same people they are turning against. Foremost, they are turning against God and His ways. Then, they behave as if they are god and make themselves as if they are the provider and taker - even taking innocent lives. But, they will have their day on the day of reckoning, as Scriptures say - “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,” (Hebrews 9:27 NIV).
The wise in the land, whose faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ, seeks to turn away wrath and douse the fire with grace and love. The Lord Jesus declared these words upon them: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9 NIV). We must remember this, no matter how bad things look around us, in Christ we overcome by His grace. It is written: “For every child of God defeats this evil world and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.” (1 John 5:4-5 NLT).
And I Say, AMEN!
