“All Things Good”

Scripture:

Proverbs 13:14
The advice of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;
those who accept it avoid the snares of death. (NLT)

Observation:

All true wisdom comes from the God of the Bible. Every word found in the Scriptures is a God breathed word (2 Timothy 3:16). Although the actual words written were formed by human hands, they were all inspired and directed by the Lord God Himself. Our Lord and Creator, Jesus Christ, the Word of God has been our connection to God and the heavenly realms since the beginning of mankind over 6,000 years ago (John 1:1-4). The wisdom that pours out from the pages of God’s Word are designed for a purpose—to give all peoples the truth about life and death—to give us hope and understanding—so we would be able to live a life that is honorable and rewarding and worth living.

Application:

I believe that one of the most important truths’ we discover in reading the many Word’s of God is the fact that all things good come from above, and all things bad come from the depths of hell. All things that come down from heaven are God directed and good for us, while all things from this fallen world are Satan directed and dangerous for us. The wisdom from Heaven is pure and holy and leads to life (Matthew 4:4). The wisdom from Hell is pure evil and deadly, directing the wisdom of man which is foolishness disguised as truth. Manmade wisdom is flawed and false and only leads to confusion and eventually eternal separation from all things good. Don’t be fooled with the world’s wisdom on life and death, my friends, because it is pure Satanism and has dire consequences that are costly. Instead, discover the Absolute Truth that can only be found in the authority, clarity, necessity, and sufficiency of Scripture—God’s infallible Word—words that bring us life.

Prayer:

Thank You Lord, for sharing Your words of truth and for helping me understand the way to everlasting life. Without Your Truth we would all be deceived into believing the lies of this fallen world and its ruler, Satan that would eventually lead us to our death and destruction. What an awesome God You are, dear Lord, awesome indeed!

Amen
