Proverbs 2:10-12
"For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall watch over thee; Understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things"
A heart so overflowing with the things of God that it's completely delivered from the way of evil. Kept alive in such things as wisdom, pleasant knowledge, discretion, and understanding. All good things through God who saves. Kept from the evil spoken at us too. Keep apart from the lies we face - that's what I want to walk in. It's done with both good and bad intentions - people twisting things of truth. I hate it. We will face it always though, we just have to know how to deal. I keep thinking on the the lies Jesus faced. His family told Him to promote himself before God's time had been set in motion, all of the charges brought against Him were false, He was betrayed by one disciple, and He was denied by others. Only after He was raised from the dead did the truth fully reign. Still, Jesus was perfect in His responses to the lies He faced. He faced the situations depicted in the Bible with love and grace and, when necessary, with righteous anger. Righteous anger is so much more weighty than the natural, emotional, fleshly anger we have to fight against. What an example and way to live. To live after One doing God's work fully. To follow One who died to give us a life with our Father God.
John 8:46-47
"Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God."
--> We need to recognize truth. We can't be for God without having truth prevalent in our lives and in our hearts. We need to be of God.
