Title: Never Walk Away.

Scriptures: Proverbs 3:19 – 35

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

What a wonderful message... never walk away!  King Solomon has advised us to be faithful and never let go of thinking and common sense because they will keep us alive and well.  This made me think that our way of thinking and our common sense must be good by nature, because we are all created good.  It is only through time that our minds are corrupted by evil through sin.  That's why God said be transformed by the renewing of the mind.  And when we do, when our minds go back to its natural state, good or in accordance to God's creation, then we can enjoy life without worry, we can be assured of our safety, there is no need overthinking or analysizing alarms and surprises.  Because our mind is set to focus on God.

King Solomon did not only advise us not to walk away from our natural state of mind, but he also said to never walk away with people.  Those who seek help, those who are in need - we ought to opwn our arms to help them.  The key thing here is found in verse 29, never figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor.  At times, we only help because we seek a return or a possibe favor they will owe us.  But Solomon encourages us to give help to those who need it, without any limitations especially when you have the means to help. Because in reality, you got what the other person need for the mere purpose of giving it to that person.  Not to become bully or one with a chip on your shoulder but to openly gives out respect to others and help.  Because this is what God has set us or created us to be.

In the end Solomon gave us a strong reason why we should do as he advices us to and it is primarly for our own sake too.  For God blesses the home of the righteous but curses the wicked.  Amen!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for an amazing wisdom from Solomon today.  Help me to never walk away from Your wisdom Lord, from my natural way of thinking which was created to think good.  Help me Lord to never walk away on people who are in need also and to remember always that I have the means for the mere purpose of giving it away.  I get filled to be emptied away for others.  Help me Lord to be humble always and recognize that I am a vessel of Your honor and one purpose is to be the instrument of Your hand for others, including those that I am not very fond of or people I dislike.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
