15 My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself; 16 Yes, my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak right things. Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day; 18 For surely there is a hereafter, And your hope will not be cut off.
Proverbs 23:15-18 (NKJV)
God is interested in our fellowship. When we set our hearts to wisdom, we excite heaven. When we exude righteousness, Our Lord rejoices at our Kingdom stance. Though doing this may be unpopular, politically incorrect and not savvy in the eyes and minds of the present age, but our choice of love, righteousness and godliness will not go unnoticed. Even when the freethinkers, sinners and 'anything goes' folks flourish, it must not rock our resolve for righteous living, but our daily walk must remain in the path and fear of the Lord.
Keep up the faith, 'For surely there is a hereafter, And your hope will not be cut off'.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
