Sustain Yourself In The Lord

Proverbs 18:13-14


"He who answers a matter before he hears it,
It is folly and shame to him.

¹⁴ The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness,
But who can bear a broken spirit?"

As long as we walk on this earth comparing ourselves among ourselves, God's wisdom and knowledge can't manifest itself.  We believe we know it all and the only advice we'll take is man's, not God's.  We like to pride ourselves on our academic achievements, the world's knowledge, and our hope that man will give us the highest esteem.  However, God says that our world's knowledge is foolishness to Him.  We must use the Spirit of God to discern matters and answer questions that will lead to life.  We're not to analyze and solve situations in our world's understanding, but in God's.  God asks that we reveal and admonish each other's darkness so that we might kill the adversaries who are trying to take us to hell.  Pride and arrogance is flooding our nations and we must put an end to those devilish spirits because they're only killing us spiritually.  Verse 14 says, "The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but who can bear a broken spirit?"  God wants us filled with joy, peace, love and happiness in Him.  Without Him the devil runs rampant over our hearts, minds and souls.  Then we become broken vessels and look for happiness in all the wrong places. Seek His joy and stop playing games.  Sustain yourself in the Lord.




(Psalm 55:22) - "Cast your cares on the Lord, and He shall sustain you."


Blessings to all who look for life in our Lord,
