Proverbs 30:33 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.” (Proverbs 30:33 KJV)

This bears to awareness what causes strife, using the analogies of butter extraction and bloody nose. Whenever milk is agitated and wrung, butter is formed, and done the same nose excretes blood out of its perforated veins. That's what these passages affirm. On the same manner, so as the force of wrath when confronted head on, always set an atmosphere of strife. When the constant agitation of bitterness in relationships is not stopped, conflicts and upheavals ensue. We are warned!

Issues that draw anger and wrath should not be pressed on. One should learn to let unpleasant things fly by. Nit-picking results nothing good. As God forgave us, we should forgive, as well. The Holy Scriptures imperatively instruct to, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV)

Hence, through the grace of Christ Jesus by faith in Him, we are destined to be with the Lord, not for wrath. It is written: “For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”(1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
