DEVOTION
PROVERBS
ONE OF THE RIGHTEOUS
Prov 10:21
21 The lips of the righteous nourish many,
but fools die for lack of judgment.
NIV
Certainly a repeat of what has been said before about the difference between the righteous and the wicked or fool in this case. Again I have to think about the useless conversations of those who lack the judgment regarding God, and accepting his provision in Jesus Christ for their redemption. The words of a fool, no matter how intelligent they may sound, still result in the death of the fool. Surely many of them are very nice people and think their lives are full of great deeds, humanitarian effects, improving mankind’s position and such, but they still lack sound judgment regarding God. They may have handfuls of degrees and pockets full of gold, but they are still poor in proper judgment about the real purpose of life. They may serve their fellow man well enough and with good intentions, but if they are not serving God then by default they are serving the devil and fulfilling his desires for their lives, which is death. How foolish is that? But I do not fit into any of that category for I am one of the righteous. The words I speak about has to do with God, and with his plan for man, his purpose for mankind and what is desire is for our lives. Those are the words which can bring real nourishment to people. The truth of God is the only real substance for life, everything else brings death. I know from personal experience, once being just a baby in Christ, that I was nourished by the lips of the righteous, and I grew and became stronger and mature in my faith, because of the truth of God being delivered to me via the righteous. I read, no devoured the Word until it was buried deep within me. I have totally trusted the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of the Word to me each and every day since I accepted Jesus Christ. There is no doubt in my mind, my heart, my spirit I shall inherit eternal life, rather than death. I am certain I do not lack judgment about this. I am no fool, I am one of the righteous.
