Today’s Thought “Residing On the Plantation” G. Ward

Proverbs 28:26 “Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.”

Slavery or being enslaved carries a horrid connotation due to mankind’s abusive regard in self-centeredness. Jesus, our Lord demanded that we know of His desired gentle proprietorship of any who would confess HIM as Owner of their lives. His rule is absolutely without abuse, yet man struts around in his own thinking, via contemplations of relinquishing only partial control to Him, which empties unto not being known by heaven’s standard. Floating one’s own boat on the seas belonging to the Master may disallow your tools of navigation functionality, whereby your ship will soon sink (2 Cor.6:1-3).

The fool is arrogantly complacent with his relationship in presumed intimacy with the Savior; but his words say so, while his heart ceases in spiritual progression (cf. Lk.6:46). He attends church, but fails to be the church (i.e. refusing discipleship – Mt. 16:24). Victory is his through great promulgation in how good God is unto him and then the end. Matthew 7: ²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. ²² Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”
