The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.

Solomon wrote those words of wisdom so that whoever would receive them and act upon them would ‘live securely and be at ease from the dread of evil!’ {Pro. 1:33} That is a particularly great blessing in these times we are in right now.

And, it would do us well to remember that while the book of Proverbs is just as claimed written to give us wisdom from Solomon and to instruct us it is first and foremost the Word of God, which are commands from the heavenly throne to be obeyed! If we choose to ignore Almighty God’s instructions for life then:
   – We are forced to lean on our own understanding {Pro. 3:5}
   – We are reduced to using wisdom that is ‘earthly, natural and demonic’ {James 3:15}
   
– We prove ourselves to be ‘babbling fools’ and not the children of, the family of, God! {Matt. 12:50}

The church is the assembly of believers, disciples joined together as brothers and sisters by the work of Jesus on the cross. It is truly the family of God. It is all quite simple if you believe and do the will of our Father.

When someone said to the Lord while He was teaching, ‘Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.’ He answered the person who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” As He pointed to His disciples, He said, “Behold, My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.” {Matt.12:47-50} Carefully consider that He also said:

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. … Everyone then who hears these words of Mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. (Matthew 7:21,24-25)

And by the way, the Lord is the Rock of our salvation!

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD
