"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!" by Pastor Bob Oliver
Proverbs 12:20 says~ "DECEIT is IN THE 'HEART' of Them that 'IMAGINE' EVIL: BUT 'TO' the Counsellors of 'PEACE' IS JOY!"
Wow, What a 'Great' Verse we Find Here in the Middle of the Book of Wisdom, Proverbs! Beloved Believers, Let's Examine "6" Things together from King Solomon's 'Inspired' Pen today:
First, Notice the "Work" of Satan: He says~ "DECEIT IS!" Oh Me Oh My Church, What a World of "DECEPTION" We Live In today! Listen, 'Satan' is the Master "DECEIVER!" And he is Busily "Deceiving" Countless "Millions" of Souls these Days, Into 'Believing' All Kinds of Lies!!! Verse 5 here says~ "The 'Counsels' of the Wicked ARE DECEIT!!!" The 'Hebrew' Word here is "Mirmah!" It Means "Subtlety, Treachery, Crafty, Feigned, False!" It Means 'Something' that is "NOT TRUE!" And This is Exactly 'How' Satan "DECEIVES" the Masses, by "DECEIT!!!"
But Secondly, Notice the "LOCATION" of this 'Demonic' Deceit: Solomon writes~ "Deceit is 'IN' THE HEART!" Woe! Did You 'Hear' That? The 'Wise' Man Says by GOD'S SPIRIT, that the Devil 'Deceives' People "IN THEIR HEARTS!!!" Now Listen, the "HEART" is the 'Seat' of the Affections, and What is "IN YOUR HEART" is WHAT YOU "WILL LOVE!" So, 'Satan' Comes Along, and 'Deceives' a Man into 'Believing' and "LOVING A LIE!" This is His Modus Operandi, He 'Deceives' the Heart Into Loving "FALSEHOOD!!!"
But Thirdly, Notice "WHO" They Are that 'Are' Deceived: He says~ "Deceit is 'In' the Heart of 'THEM' THAT IMAGINE EVIL!" Woe Beloved, We've Just Gone from "Bad to Worse!" Now, Solomon Shows Us Exactly "WHO" they 'Are' that Are "Deceived" by the Enemy, 'Labelling' Them as "IMAGINING EVIL!!!" Question: "WHY" Did GOD "DESTROY" the 'Old' World??? Answer: Genesis 6:5~ "And GOD 'Saw' that the 'WICKEDNESS' OF MAN was Great in the Earth, and that 'EVERY IMAGINATION' OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS 'HEART' WAS ONLY 'EVIL' CONTINUALLY!!!" Did You 'Hear' That? Moses Said~ "THEY IMAGINED 'EVIL' CONTINUALLY!!!" Saints, That's the 'MIND', the 'Thought' Patterns, the "Thinking Wickedly!" And GOD "Hates" it So Much that HE Had to "DESTROY THE WORLD" Because of it!!!
Ok But Fourthly, Notice 'Those' Who Are Wise: He says~ "DECEIT IS IN THE HEART OF THEM THAT IMAGINE EVIL: BUT 'TO' THE COUNSELLORS!" Listen, GOD'S "WORD" Says that 'Wise People' Will Receive "COUNSEL FROM HIM!!!" Question: Do You Know 'Who' the "Dumbest" People in the World Are? Answer: It's All 'Those' Who "REFUSE" to LISTEN to "WISE COUNSEL" From GOD!!! I Cannot 'Tell' You Beloved Believers, How Many "Christians" I've Sent Away With Good "BIBLICAL" COUNSEL, Where GOD 'Gives' a Clear and Simple "Answer" to their Problem, only to find out that They "REFUSED TO DO" What GOD'S "WORD" Said to DO!!! Do You Know 'What' I Believe? Listen to Me: I 'Believe' that GOD'S HOLY "WORD" Has "ALL THE ANSWERS" to "ALL OF THE PROBLEMS" that You & I Will 'Face' in This Life, and That We Simply 'Need' to "RECEIVE HIS COUNSEL!!!"
But Fifthly, Notice the "EFFECT" of Taking HIS Counsel: Solomon says~ "DECEIT IS IN THE HEART OF THEM THAT IMAGINE EVIL: BUT 'TO' THE COUNSELLORS 'OF' PEACE!" Aha, Here We Find out "How" those Who Take 'Godly Counsel' Live their Daily Life! They HAVE "PEACE!!!" And it's Not Just 'Any' Peace, but it's "THE PEACE 'OF' GOD THAT PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING 'KEEPING' OUR HEARTS AND MINDS 'THROUGH' CHRIST JESUS!!!" Listen Carefully Church, People that are 'Deceived' and Imagine 'Evil' Things DO "NOT HAVE 'ANY' PEACE WITHIN!" Isaiah Said~ "THERE IS 'NO' PEACE TO THE 'WICKED' SAITH MY GOD!" But Oh the Sharp 'Contrast' that Exists for 'All Those' Who Love GOD'S COUNSEL, They Have "PEACE LIKE A RIVER!!!"
But Sixthly, and Finally, Observe the "RESULT" of this Blessed Peace: He says~ "DECEIT IS IN THE HEART OF THEM THAT IMAGINE EVIL: BUT 'TO' THE COUNSELLORS OF PEACE 'IS' JOY!" Oh Praise GOD Today For the Blessed "RESULT" of Obtaining HIS WONDERFUL PEACE, It is "JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY!!!" This Abiding "JOY" Beloved Brethren, is 'Our' Great Possession, for "THE JOY OF THE LORD 'IS' THY STRENGTH!!!" So My 'Word' to You today Dear One is this: Focus and 'Fix' Your Heart & Mind Upon the Divine 'Things' of The SPIRIT OF GOD, and 'Walk' In The Blessed "PEACE AND JOY OF THE LORD EVERY DAY!!!" Blessings to All, and Shalom...
