Proverbs Chapter 1, verse 7:
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
There is the laughter and happiness that comes from gentle loving innocence and the person laughing has that sparkle of joy in their eyes. This person laughs because their spirits are risen in an uplifting feeling of goodness. These people laugh and sing everywhere and anywhere and they have no fear of showing their joy.
Proverbs Chapter 6, verse 2: Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
The other laughter is that of those using the tools of evil. We must feel sorry for them because they really think that their mean behavior is normal and what they should do to win a situation. They laugh sneakily and with the joy of seeing others destruction. These people are to be avoided at all cost unless someone experienced in God’s love can try to help them.
We should be sure that we don’t mingle at the table with those who are not gentle and loving in God’s ways because eventually the bad ways of others will rub off onto us so we must be careful and gentle as doves in all the things that we say and do. This can be a struggle for us at times but we must always try to be good and do good as God teaches us to do.
This also means that we should stand strong in defending the weak, the crippled, the lost, and poor from those who wish to harm them. Our way is the way of the strong protector and we are the educator of the willing who want to find a new life and a new way.
If you have something to say then be sure to say it and since you are truthful and believe in what it is that you know that you must say, do say it with strong firm conviction.
Proverbs Chapter 6, verses 16-19:
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
It has been said that just to talk about someone with lies and trickery is an evil action simply because it kills that persons innocent reputation with lies which are designed to bring his destruction. If we are guilty of such works then it is wise to straighten things out with an apology.
God will not hold our hand while we do evil to others. God will help us, guide us and show us how to be loving and kind to others. If we jump to our own destruction by following Satan’s ways God will help us pick up the pieces after Satan has had his wicked way with us and God will get us back on track with spiritual and physical healing. God is always there to pick up the pieces and to get us back on the right track.
How many times do we have to fall before we learn?
It is better to be rewarded for our good works by God than to be rewarded for our bad works by God’s enemies.
Our common enemy is Satan who will reward those in his way – the results are not pleasant.
Let us sow the seed of love and goodwill – we will reap the results of our work.
All the best from
James M Sandbrook.
