Proverbs 30:10 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Accuse not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.” (Proverbs 30:10 KJV)

This warns that slander is costly. So, this counsel is a solid rock to stand and abide on in every venues of professional and social relationship. This passage evokes the story of Daniel, who was one of the administrators and satraps of the Empire of Medes and Persia during the reign of King Darius. He was falsely accused of a preposterous crime against a preposterous law his corrupt fellow administrators concocted and tricked King Darius to enact, just to entrap Daniel whom they envied due to his exceptional qualities in doing his job. What crime was he accused of? He prayed to God! (Daniel 6:10)

King Darius was himself entrapped, too. Scriptures say: “So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”” (Daniel 6:16 NIV)

However, as this proverb warns, the curse of the deceptive and wicked act of Daniel's fellow officials, befall upon them. God, whom Daniel served, was on Daniel's side to save him. So do we, in Christ Jesus, we are saved by grace through faith in Him. Daniel was saved from the mouth of the lions. And, as for his accusers, it is written: “Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. And the king commanded, and those men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. And before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.” (Daniel 6:23-24 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
