Proverbs 10:6-7
Blessings
are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
The memory
of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
When
we live our lives apart from the defining plan of God’s Word and what He says
is right we have a very tumultuous existence without any rhyme or reason. Our lives shake violently under the
consequences and influences of sinful seeds sown without regard to our Lord’s
will in individual choices we have made.
We must be a people who seek our God and want to honor Him with our
choices.
Our mouths must be controlled by the
Holy Spirit with our heart being filled with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs,
making melody to the Lord. This will
result in not having a wicked heart and help us avoid such unnecessary human
conflict as a result of our own wickedness.
The thoughts of others when they hear
your name should bring blessing to their day as hopefully you are a link to
their mind being stayed on Christ. If
you or I are forever meddling, gossiping or speaking of things we ought not,
our names could very well turn the stomach of someone who hears it
mentioned. We must be just and in order
to be just we must be lovers of truth, pleasers of God and not just loyal to
men. This will create scenarios where
words will be spoken in order to please man and gain his approval only to
result in conflict and inconsistency.
