Schemer

“Schemer”
Blessings folk!
The word “schemer” does not have a positive connotation in our culture.
Nor does the person who is an actual schemer.
The Word verifies this…
Pro 24:8-9
Whoever plans to do evil
will be called a schemer.
The devising of folly is sin,
and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.
ESV
Who/what is a “schemer”?
One who plans to do evil.
One who plans to do that which is not right in the sight of God.
Planning…devising…such folly is sin.
Such a person is a scoffer.
They reject the Way of the Lord.
They embrace the way of man.
They pursue their passion rather than pursuing the Lord.
They are an abomination to mankind.
Be not a scheming scoffer.
Be not an abomination.
Isa 32:7
As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil;
he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
ESV
Remember…
2 Co 10:3-6
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh
but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
ESV
