Take It To The Lord

Proverbs 22:20-23




Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,
²¹ That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
That you may answer words of truth
To those who send to you?

²² Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;
²³ For the Lord will plead their cause,
And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.

The word of God is our truth, our anchor, and our compass to a sound mind, a loving heart, and eternal life.  (Ephesians 6:1)  "Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."  Verses 20-21 says, Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,²¹ That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth,That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you?"  We are to speak words of truth to one another today, not words that only edify ourselves.  God bless the parents who brought their children up in the Lord, and who are enjoying the many blessings from doing so.  However, for those of us who were not brought up properly in our Lord's word, and are finding it hard to fit into life comfortably, God bless the heavens and earth, we can now stand on truth and make something of ourselves.  God put gifts in us that we might succeed and succeed well. Though, the only way to use these gifts, is to train in the fruits of His Spirit that come by working love.  If we were not taught that satan is real and the only way to defeat him is with faith in God, we were not trained properly in how to interact in this world.  (Ephesians 6:14-16)  "Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one."  Our bible with faith in God, will train us in how to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one, not some but all.  We see chaos and confusion everywhere, why? because our world is not embracing God's word as fact.  He commands, that we are to be trained up in His word, if not, then we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.  We can either tremble at satan's works, not knowing what might happen next, or we can join up with Father God, and learn how to defuse all of the enemy's attacks.  God asks, that we speak boldly His name and works, over ours and others lives, that His heavenly hosts may join in our fight to freedom.  We are being robbed and afflicted at every turn, and only God can plead our cause and plunder the enemy.  Take it to the Lord.


(Isaiah 55:3)  "Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—The sure mercies of David."


Blessings to all who give their lives sincerely to our Lord,
