Give Way Before the Wicked

“Give Way Before the Wicked”
Blessings folk!
Oh!
What a Proverb for today!
Such a needed Word.
Listen carefully.
What is the Lord saying to you?
Pro 25:26
Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
ESV
Too many truly righteous people are giving way to the wicked.
We do so for many reasons, all “good”.
Yet, we do not stand firm in truth.
We do not boldly speak forth the truth.
We do not rest in the Lord.
We do fear man.
We do fear “what people will think”.
We do have greater concern about what man will think/do than we do with what God thinks.
Do not muddy the pure stream of the river of Life.
Do not pollute the fountain of Life.
Do not succumb to the wicked and their strategy.
Remember…
John 4:13-14
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.
The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
ESV
Drink deeply from the Lord.
Jhn 6:54, 56
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,
and I will raise him up on the last day.
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
ESV
