Thursday’s Blog – The gate and the Fool

Proverbs 24:7 – Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; he does not open his mouth in the gate.

Bible Challenges and Comments

I know that when I think of a portion of scripture that it will not be long before I search it out. I praise the LORD for this since I am often encouraged by what is revealed. Have you ever sought to reach the top shelf of the china cabinet and said; “I better get the stool, otherwise those bowls that I need, will become a helmet for my head.” My version of the Proverb above!

I am reminded “daily” of the ongoing command of “to love one another even as I have loved you” John 13:34 it seems that I will never learn to sacrifice my human desire to crush the enemy with self-righteous ambitions that always linger in my heart. Having something to say at the gate (that is when the opportunity arrives) must be filtered through the Word of God; otherwise we will filter what we say from the foolish point of view of self-righteousness. The gates in life are many!

How important is the gate? Also, the gate is the door that allows a person to enter the personal realm of another soul. I say! “The gate is the opening that allows a person to enter the personal realm of another soul”. Most times human wisdom does not have permission to enter, except through the anticipated emotional strife and thus is no better that the world. If you are invited in and have nothing to say but to promote depression or guilt, then it may be wise to say “no more, than… I love you”.

This example of servant love is provided by the LORD Jesus in an earlier passage in John 13; note verse 17 – If you know these things, happy are you if you do them. The Master becomes the servant. In our relationships with people and because we are “born-again” Spiritually we are the governing authority. In other words we should not use this authority abusively. The bottom line is that if we do not love as a bond servant to others then everyone walks away unhappy. Galatians 5:13.
