DEVOTION
PROVERBS
A CLEAR
CHOICE
Prov 16:14
14 A king's
wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it.
NIV
Surely in
those days a king had the power of life and death over those he ruled over and
it would be wise for a person to always make sure to be on the good side of the
king. But this saying is not a history lesson for school children; it is
certainly about the one King who is absolute authority over all. Those who are
not wise, thus who would be consider by him as foolish and refuse to accept his
provision for eternal life, will experience his wrath and inherit as a result death or destruction
or perish. But those who are wise will appease the King of kings by accepting
his provision for salvation. They will accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, their
Lord and Savior and thus will inherit eternal life. It is a choice they ever
person has to make, whether to be foolish, living for today by refusing God, or
being wise and living for God. So we have to conclude that for some his wrath
is a message of death, but for us we believe, by extension appease his message
is of life, and life everlasting. The choice is clear.
