Messenger

Today I will not quote here the verses I will be referencing, but please look them up at some point. They are found in Proverb 26, verses 1-12. The author talks of how we are to relate to fools. One thing that catches me every time I read this passage is that we are told that it is not good to send a message in the hand of a fool.

God has called us to be His messengers of the Gospel of Christ. As such, we are to act and live in wisdom, and therefore our lives have changed from what they were before we came to know Christ. If we still live in the foolishness that was before we received the redemption of our Lord, we are grievous to to God. However, if we faithfully carry the message of redemption by living the transformed lives God has given to us, we are a delight to Him, and bring Him honour among those who know us.

What could be more of a blessing than to know God is pleased with our lives as we learn to follow Christ daily? In 3 John 4 we are told that it is pleasing to know that one's children (and God's we are) walk in truth and light. Let's walk in that today!
