The Word of God shows us the way we are not to go as well as the way we are to go.
We are told that ‘the root of the righteous stands firm’ (12).
We are warned: ‘he who follows worthless pursuits has no sense’ (11).
Do you have any sense?
Here’s the most sensible thing you could ever do: Let ‘Christ dwell in your heart through faith’.
Be ‘rooted and... grounded in love… the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge’.
Does it make any sense to live a life of emptiness - ‘worthless pursuits’ - when you can be filled with all the fullness of God’?
What sense is there in living a life that amounts to nothing - ‘worthless pursuits’ - when you can have ‘His power at work within you’?
There are two ways: the way of giving ‘glory to God’ and the way of ‘no sense’ (Ephesians 3:17-21).
Only one ‘Way’ makes sense - Christ (John 14:6).
What harm can be done by ‘reckless words’ (18).
We need to take care how we speak.
As those who belong to Christ, we have a special responsibility.
We are to ‘witness’ for Him.
We are to give our ‘testimony’, declaring what He has done for us.
We are to speak of the ‘one thing’ that is more important than anything else - what the Lord has done for us: ‘I used to be blind, but now I can see’ (John 9:25).
This is what the Lord has done for us - ‘He has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light’ (1 Peter 2:9).
There is a better way than the way of ‘lying lips’ (22).
When the ‘lying tongue’ has no more to say for itself, there will be one confession of faith which will remain forevermore: ‘Jesus Christ is Lord’.
This confession brings ‘glory’ to ‘God the Father’.
Let it be your confession of faith: ‘Jesus Christ is Lord’ (19; Philippians 2:11).
