Solomon pleased God by his heart to do right by God’s people and for that God has blessed him with so much wisdom and he has shared it with us. In the same manner God wants us to know that if we act and speak with wisdom this makes God happy and allows Him to trust us with so much more.
In like manner if you disregard that wisdom and act like a rebellious fool you will cause grief for so many people and in turn will lose God’s willingness to trust you with what He has for you. This ill-focused value system for the rebellious fools will not allow them to move forward in life. To the contrary, it leads them down a vicious path towards death and destruction.
Praise God that we, being declared righteous and walking in obedience with God’s wisdom, we shall be delivered from that death and destruction. In fact we will never have to deal with a single day in lack or despair!
The rebellious ones with their rebellious desires will not be allowed to have one ounce of this type of prosperity. Those who are not willing to take a step of faith and do what God has told them to do out of their laziness and their fleshly desires shall be eaten away with poverty.
We are faithful to God’s call and command so we do what he says and He heaps up riches upon us. So much riches that we have no choice but to bless others with it! We aren’t like the ones who say “I’ll get to it when I feel like it”. If this attitude comes from a Christian it puts a black eye on the image of God, do we want that? No, Instead we are the ones that say, “God wants this done now so I am going to go after it and make sure it is done fully and with excellence.” With this heart and mind-set brings so much blessings. We are not talking about merely the financial blessings. We are also talking spiritually, mentally, physically, and materially!
Beware of what comes out of the mouth of the rebellious ones. They are about tearing others apart and manipulating you to follow their agenda. Unlike us faithful ones who have a noted place in history without shame or blemish these rebellious folk will go down in infamy and eventually will be forgotten and become insignificant. We being faithful take on every word that is spoken to us from God and take it on as if our life depends on it because it does. We will stand and continue to stand with honor and dignity because of this unlike the rebellious fools who will have the carpet yanked out from under them as they fall to a slow and painful death. We don’t speak out words of manipulation that tries to flatter and tickle the ears of others; instead we speak out the truth only! Those manipulative and twisted words from the rebellious ones may work for a time period but eventually it will come to light and when it does look out! Those “looks of seduction” that tries to titillate and appeal to others flesh only will cause a lot of hurt and heartache in the long run.
Since we are faithful and obedient we will speak life into others and of God’s goodness and love. The rebellious ones will continually try to tear apart and destroy others in order to promote their own agenda. They will do all they can to have one person against another so that they can get ahead. Whereas us being faithful and obedient to God’s word have been taught to forgive and never make mention of any misdoings to anyone no matter how bad it might have been. Since love is the ultimate motivation of us being faithful and obedient we will approach all things with understanding and speaking out God’s wisdom in every situation. We take on what God has spoken to us, His wisdom, and has allowed it to get into our heart and challenge us in our daily walk. We daily think about this word, speak it, and apply it in every area. Unlike the rebellious ones who have brought on themselves the correction, rebuke and ultimate destruction that they have. These rebellious ones labor in vain. Sure it may appear for a time period that all is well and that they are getting ahead but soon the poverty and destruction will catch up with them. But we being righteous and faithful should rejoice in the fact that everything that we put our hands to prospers. We are the ones that have life and have it more abundantly! We take on God’s word and follow it to the letter. We won’t compromise because we know that no matter how little the compromise is, it will eventually lead us away from God’s path in our lives.
Some may try to hide the fact that they despise another with their “kind words” but ultimately they are lying to themselves and to God. And those who instead will do all they can to gossip and manipulate others and their thinking towards that individual is a raging idiot. Instead they should simply shut up, restrain their tongue, and let God talk to them about that individual to allow His love to show through. That individual is being wise and will bring strength and value to the table, whereas the others will de-value anything that they become involved with. The impact of those that are faithful and obedient goes out to so many areas and is eternal while the rebellious ones will simply die.
When we are walking in that faithful obedience we will then know what it is to be truly blessed! There will be no confusion or suffering from it. The rebellious ones take on their slander and manipulation like a game trying to make every move to step over others for their own selfish game in total disregard to the other individual. It is a sad existence for these folks because they think that people are approaching them in like manner. They are constantly paranoid and fearful that someone will get the best of them and the sad part is… they’re right! It is unavoidable since they will sow what they reap.
Since we are faithful and obedient to God and His word we should be confident in the fact that our desires are actually the same as His desires and with that we have the knowledge that they will come to pass! Sure we are in this world with all of it’s confusion and perversion but since we took a stand to not become “of” this world we will stand once all of the evil dies away.
Do you want to experience irritation and suffering beyond belief? Put your trust in one of the rebellious ones and see what happens. If we truly respect and honor the Lord our God we will have a long and prosperous life but the rebellious days will be numbered and they will not be good ones. We have the confident expectation that God will do what he said and that is exciting but the rebellious has nothing that they can count on or take to the bank so eventually that hope will disappear for them. As we walk in obedience and faithfulness to God’s plan He will give us strength while the rebellious will be vexed with weakness. In the grand scheme of things we will eventually have this earth to call ours while the rebellious will be forced from it to go to the pits of hell. What we speak is God’s wisdom in every situation and that brings life and the rebellious would be better off to get rid of their ability to speak because they take the truth and pervert it to their own selfish gain while we speak only what is right!
