UNSHAKABLE! Proverbs 10:30

10/18/2011

0 Comments

 
The righteous will never be shaken, But the wicked will not dwell in the land.  Proverbs 10:30

My brother was a missionary to the Philippines where he experienced his first earthquake, which came in unison with the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.  We grew up outside Chicago, so earthquakes were something we knew nothing about.  Wind we knew, snow we really knew - but earthquakes were foreign to us.  My brother's explanation was amazing to me.  When the earthquake hit, he thought the house was collapsing, and that was what was causing the shaking.  But when he ran outside, the ground there was shaking and rolling too.  For him and his family, this was a very disturbing thing.  They took for granted that the ground was firm.  Now it was shaking, and that was very disconcerting to them.  What they thought was stable, was being shaken.  This describes the hearts of many who are relying on things that can be shaken - as if they could not be shaken.  When the shaking starts, everything that they thought they could rely on became "shake-able."  But this is not the only thing shaken in these circumstances.  When it seems that everything can be shaken, your confidence in anything and everything is shaken as well.  Is there anything in this world that cannot be shaken?  That is what today's proverb is going to address. 

What we are told as wisdom is that the righteous will never be shaken.  Now, this promise does not speak of being exempt from earthquakes or other natural occurances where the earth around us is shaken.  What it does address is an even more wonderful promise - and that is an inner spiritual stability that cannot be shaken by anything - either earthly or unearthly. 

Note that the group who will not be shaken is the righteous.  These are those who stand before God and are viewed as righteous in His sight.  That cannot happen biblically except by faith.  There is no man who can ever stand before God as righteous on the basis of his own works.  Our works reveal us not as righteous, but as sinful and fallen.  If we are righteous, it is by faith in what God has done for us.  This He did through Jesus Christ at the cross.  But when we put our faith in Jesus Christ - God declares us righteous.  These are the ones who cannot be shaken.  This is something we need to grasp - spiritually. 

The Bible presents the physical world as shadows - with the reality being the spiritual.  Therefore, the ultimate shaking will be when we face our ultimate spiritual test - the judgment at the end of the age.  It is in this moment that many will learn that althought they thought they were unshakable in life - in death they will truly be shaken.  The word for shaken in Proverbs 10:30 is the word "mot" which means to be removed or to fall.  It was used often in the Old Testament to refer to the shaking and removing of things previously thought to be unshakable.  What shook them was the fierce judgments of Almighty God.  This shaking is promised for the wicked and the ungodly.  This is the term that is used when it is said that God will remove the mountains - and also of Him removing the entire earth.  Indeed there will be a shaking of eternal proportions that will come to the earth.  But after the earth is destroyed by fire, there is an even more terrifying event to come.  All mankind will stand before the judgment bar of God Himself.  This is the ultimate accounting - and the sole basis upon which our entire eternity will be based.  Oh what a shaking will come for all philosophies, all worldviews, and all religious beliefs.  They will be tested - and all but a faith in Jesus Christ will be found wanting. 

The righteous do not have to fear in that day - for the righteousness given to them by God on the basis of faith will stand.  It will not be shaken for it rests on the person of Jesus Christ as well as His death, burial, and resurrection.  It was the blood of Jesus that paid the debt of sin and paved the way for God to make us righteous by faith.  But for every other religious or non-religious view - this will be a day of horror.  It will be a day to be terrified as they learn that their self-made, man-made, or demonically-inspired religious and philosophical views will not remain.  We are promised that the wicked will not dwell in the land.  They will not stand, nor will they know an eternity in God's presence.  They will be judged and eventually cast into the lake of fire.  This will be their ignoble end - for they held an ignoble faith.  Their beliefs did not honor God or give Him thanks.  Their view saw god as something or someone they could manage by their own thoughts and philosophical positions.  Thus the land God is preparing for us will not be where they will dwell.  They will dwell in the outer darkness where there will be weeping and knashing of teeth.  They will dwell in a place where the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever.

Let me the thoughts for today with a quote from the book of Hebrews.  There we read of this day of shaking with the following description.  "See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.  And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, 'YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN.'  This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire."  (Hebrews 12:25-29)  There is a shaking coming and it will shake anything and everything which can be shaken.  Heaven and earth will be shaken on that day.  But there will be a kingdom on this day that cannot be shaken.  The context of this shaking is the judgment of God.  God warns of this day from heaven.  He also works that anything created will be shaken, and even more than shaken, they will be destroyed.  Therefore we are urged to prepare for a shaking that will also involve standing before God, Who in that day, will be a consuming fire.  Are you ready for that day?  Do you have something, beyond things in this life and this world, that will not be shaken when they all are shaken?  Are you ready to stand before God as a consuming fire - and have what it will take to make it through the shaking and through the fire?  There is only one thing that will stand in that day - it is what God has given to us through His Son, Jesus Christ.  On that day only a righteousness gained by faith in Jesus will stand.  May both you and me prepare for THAT DAY, so that when it comes - we will not be shaken.

The Life and Times of the Drunken Fool, Part 4 - Bumbling and Blind - Proverbs 23:34

4/27/2011

0 Comments

 
And you will be like one who lies down in the middle of the sea, Or like one who lies down on the top of a mast. Proverbs 23:34

Drunken fools are unstable.  This could have multiple meanings, but in this verse in Proverbs it actually only means that they are physically unstable.  The drunker the fool gets, the more he is unable to control himself.  He will eventually stumble around and fall down a lot.  This is because of how alcohol affects both his brain and his muscles.  Both are adversely affected and are hindered from functioning normally.  In dealing with the previous verse we saw how both sight and muscles are weakened and disfunctional when the blood alcohol level of a person rises.  The lack of sight - and the inability of the brain to handle the direction and regulation of our muscles is what causes this instability.

The actions of the drunken fool are compared to those who lie down in the middle of the sea.  This first phrase refers to one who has sunken down into the sea.  Similar words were used of Jonah and his fall into the depths of the waters in Jonah 2:4 - thus this is a picture of a person who is either drowning or in danger of drowning.  He is lying in the midst of the sea - which is literally the heart of the sea.  In his intellectual confusion he slowly passes into a state of unconsciousness - where he is no longer in control of his life.  The drunken fool drinks until he is fighting a battle with being conscious.  Even if he is conscious physically, often the drunk cannot remember what he did the night before.  Some fools who have lived like this even find that they have injured someone, impregnated or have been impregnated by someone they don't even know, or in severe cases have even killed someone.  Truly just as the man sinking in the heart of the sea is no longer in control of himself - so the drunken fool has lost control and places himself in grave danger. 

The second statement here is that he is like someone who lies down on the top of a mast.  This place mentioned here is the crow's nest or lookout mast on a ship.  These are not made for anything except standing.  When a man is standing in one he can hold on and can determine direction and warning for a ship.  For a man to be lying down in such a place is foolish on several counts.  First of all, doing this means that he is most likely lying down on top of the nest itself - with no way to hold himself stable.  Since the motion of the ship on the sea is greatly exaggerated here, he is more likely to be thrown from the nest into the sea or to his great injury or death on the ship below.  The drunken fool is similarly in danger because drunkenness greatly impairs his ability to protect himself and guide himself safely wherever he is.  He too is in danger of injury or death in his drunken state.  The second way this is foolish has to do with being watchful.  If you are lying down on top of the mast you are not watching.  The ship could run aground and face terrible problems when its lookout is asleep or lying down on the job.  If enemies approach he is supposed to be the first line of warning.  But since he is lying down on the job - he is subjecting the ship to a condition of having no lookout at all.  The drunken fool is similarly abandoning watch over his life, his family, his friends, and most especially his testimony.  He is a man adrift with no one at the helm - wandering through life with no direction as well as no protection.  Some who choose to live this way, ruin their lives in the course of one night. 

The wise man does not impair himself willingly.  He keeps his wits about him and keeps watch over his life and testimony.  He knows that drunkenness will severely blind him to everything around him and also will leave him without any discernment or prudence in his decision making ability.  Therefore he avoids drunkenness like one would avoid the plague.  He knows that rather than being drunk he is to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  That way he has a teacher and a guide who can keep him safe.  He knows that under the influence of This Spirit he will not have to wake up in the morning wondering what happened and whether he will need to be ashamed of the previous night's activities.

A Stable, Just Nation . . . Proverbs 29:4

3/29/2010

0 Comments

 
The king gives stability to the land by justice, But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.    Proverbs 29:4

What makes a nation stable?  According to this proverb, the thing that makes any nation stable is when that nation has a king who enforces justice.  This is not exactly an easy thing to understand because in our day justice is not measured in biblical terms. 

True justice deals with just laws and justice meted out on the basis of truth and evidence.  When one has proven to have acted unjustly, they are given the appropriate punishment for their actions.  This works very well until the situation arises where a man within the system of justice is willing to receive a bribe.  The money blinds them to justice.  In a moment of time - the bribe overthrows the entire system of justice and righteousness - and soon "so-called justice" goes to the highest bidder.  

The king could change all this - if he is the kind of man who desires justice first.  He can give a wonderful stability to his kingdom if he stands for righteousness in all that he does.  He will not take a bribe, because he fears God and realizes that even his own position is a trust from God.  Knowing these things - he dispenses justice and righteousness to those in his kingdom - and does so with no respect to persons.  Oh, the stability this gives to his kingdom and to the subjects within it.  If money cannot change a man's mind - if it cannot blind a man to the laws which are written - that is a blessed land indeed.  The people - the commerce - the homes will enjoy great peace and prosperity because of the honesty and integrity with which the king administers all things within its borders.  

We would be wise to learn this lesson in our current situation.  Too often legislation is made due to the influence of "special interest groups."  These groups offer various things to our legislators to influence them on the kind of legislation they support. What they often offer is contributions – large contributions to a candidate or an incumbent member of the House or Senate.  By accepting this money from special interest groups and other lobbyists, these legislators often choose to vote according to who is giving them money – rather than according to their constituent’s good.  These kind of things have the affect of quietly overthrowing our system   They overthrow it because the system is no longer based upon truth - but it becomes based upon who can produce the biggest bribe.  In the end, the real problem becomes the total lack of integrity in those who lead - which in turn awards leadership, not to those whose character and integrity will give light to the people - but rather to the one who is the biggest crook with the biggest wallet.  Blessed is the nation whose leaders function according to laws – who enforce laws – and who even enforce them on those in leadership.  It is when the people can see the written laws, and see them applied to everyone justly that a nation has true stability.  Otherwise men will do what is right in their own eyes – or – as the case is made here, in the eyes of whoever is offering them the most money in a bribe.

True Stability . . . Proverbs 12:3

3/12/2010

0 Comments

 
A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be moved. Proverbs 12:3

This very proverb has a wonderful parallel in the New Testament in the sermon on the mount.  The parable of the foundations deals with how the man who built his house on the sand, having no foundation except on sand, had his house fall.  The man who rooted his house on the rock, Jesus Christ, stood against all the storms and winds that beat upon it. 

The man who seeks to be established on wickedness is kidding himself.  He won't know any kind of firmness or rooting.  The word here means to be firm or fixed, to be steadfast and deeply founded.  The picture is of a house that has deep moorings into the ground and as a result is very stable and strong.  There is no promise of this for the man who wants to dig his roots into wickedness.  He won't know stability - he won't have strength that will last.  When troubles and trials, storms and winds come upon his life - he will fall flat. 

"Shoresh" is the Hebrew word used to speak of the root of the righteous.  It is a word that means a deeply rooted plant that goes far down into the ground.  It refers in Scripture to things like the root and base of a mountain - the roots of large trees - and even the origins of someone or something, speaking of their roots.  These are righteous roots though.  This man roots himself in what is right.  But where can we learn what is right in every circumstance?  Jesus tells us that this is when we hear His words and do them.  This is the place to find what is right - but more than that - to be rooted in what is right.  We are promised that this kind of root won't be moved.  Just as Jesus said, this house - this life - will have the winds come down - the rain come down - the storms rise against it and beat on it.  But they will not prevail - and that house and life will not fall. 

In a time when the world around us seems to be shaking at its very roots - men are scouring their minds trying to think of something or find something that will give them stability - it is interesting that we know there is a root that cannot be moved.  Oh, that men would turn to this root and find the stability for which they long.

When Change is a Bad Thing . . . Proverbs 24:21-22

11/24/2009

2 Comments

 
My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not associate with those who are given to change, 22 For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them? Proverbs 24:21-22

Change!  We need change!  There is the byword of our society lately.  Yet, there are some things that do not change, and should not be subject to quick changes.  What is fascinating to me is the two areas where this is mentioned. 

Fear the Lord - that I can understand.  At least in the context of change.  Those who think that they can do better with God - who think that they know better than His Word are not wise people.  An example are those who think that God should change His views on morals to parallel those of a changing society.  They are given to change, and do so every time the society decides to loosen their morals beyond what is written in the Word.  As it says in verse 22 - their calamity is going to come - it will rise suddenly.  And the ruin that comes from such "change" is massive.  With God's Word that is easy to see.  But that is not where this passage stops. 

Fear the king . . . that is the second part of this statement made by the wise man.  Government?  We should fear the government?  That is what God's Word tells us.  But we need to remember what kind of government they had.  Their king was to spend time writing out a personal copy of God's Word so that he would be careful not to overstep what it said.  But before we make this statement only apply to a biblical theocracy, we need to remember that Paul urged first century Christians to submit to the government of Rome - or to any under which they lived.  We are to pray for those in authority so that we can live peaceful lives in all godliness. 

Stability  in government is actually a good thing.  As long as we can live within it for Christ - we should be grateful for whatever form of government we have.  The people describes as the ones given to change are those who are desirous of changing the government - which in that day meant an overthrow or a revolution.  Hang around with these people long enough - and both you and they will find yourselves at odds with the king. 

An interesting historical parallel to this is the French Revolution.  There were those who were given to change - and who decided to overthrow the monarchy.  These revolutionaries soon decided to overthrow one another.  Before long - blood ran in the streets as one faction turned on another.  The end of all this was the dictatorship of Napoleon and the wars that ensued.  France was in shambles due to it all.  Associating with those "given to change" led to many being beheaded . . . yep, sounds like calamity to me. 

The best thing is to fear God - and fear the ones in government to whom He has placed the sword of its power.  Romans tells us as much.  Historically, being a Christian has rarely meant working for government change.  I know in the United States such statements are foreign to us, but biblically the focus of God's people has been building a kingdom that cannot be seen - one that will last forever.  So, follow the counsel of Scripture . . . fear God and the king.  Work in your life to live under both - but ultimately with a view to standing before the Lord, Who ultimately is the One Who governs our lives.
