Scripture:
Proverbs 30: 14 "There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords, And his jaw teeth like knives, To devour the afflicted from the earth, And the needy from among men."
Observation:
Wise King Solomon is sharing to bring some sense and wisdom to people. There are so many in this world who are circumstantial Christian. Regardless of what is going on, so called Christian are careless of God's law and his teaching of being faithfulness. The worst would be with words and mouth which spills those words. There are so many out there, including elders of Churches and Christian who plays the victim role in their life to receive acceptance and praise from other, but the primary missing hole in their heart is, we need to accept God's righteous way and God need to accept us. It doesn't matter who in this world accept or does accept us. God's acceptance and approval will lead to eternal life, for living your life as faithful servant. There are so many deception, especially with individuals to bring so much piercing in others heart with their words, and their mouth is like thorn waiting for pour thorns onto the others, to feel better of themselves. Take the weak for granted, but when in fact the one who bring sour notes are the weak. But it is said, the one who spill the thorn is looking for acceptance from the world, missing the biggest goal of our spiritual life which is approval from God.
Application:
God is my savior and I will take refuge onto him, during my time of trials and pain. Through the hurt of my closest "relatives" the deceptive and piercing words to hurt me and my family will not ruin God's words. God will shield and answer my cries, therefore, don't get myself caught up in the game of throwing thorns at each other, but God will shield that those thorns will not reach anywhere near the branches. Share the healthy root with those who are weak and let them embrace and grow as individuals. Use words in wisely and for the good of praising our God.
Prayer:
Father God, convict my hear and mold my heart. Cleanse my mouth that I will use the mouth piece you gave to use to praise and share the Good news of you. Father God, you are the shield who brings healing and comfort to those in need. Father, I pray for your healing of my heart and my family. There are relatives (aunts and cousins) who are out there to hurt our family. But Father God, I know you are fair and amazing God of miracles who will heal us in this circumstances. There are so many casualty from their behavior, Father God, give us the strength to heal and we continue to seek in your words. Father thank you for your abundant blessing and wealth. Your unconditional love. Father discipline me and teach me to faithful servant. Father let my actions and words maybe song of praise versus thorn to the healthy branches you have planted. Father God, help me to prioritize you in my life, temptation and self indulgence has caught me from doing so, but Father stir my heart to prioritize you. In your amazing and gracious name amen.
