Proverbs
16:20
“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good; and whoso trusteth in The LORD, happy is he.” KJV
“He who
heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in The LORD, happy is
he.” NKJV
“He who has skill in a matter will succeed; he who trusts in ADONAI will be happy.” CJB
When we think of “matter” we do not think of a spoken word but, what things are made of, or an emphasis on a subject or action (What does it really matter? or What is the matter before us today? or I hope that this really does not matter!)
The Hebrew word translated into English for this passage is dâbâr [from the prim root dâbar perh. prop. to arrange; but used fig. (of words) to speak…] a word; by impl. a matter (as spoken of) or thing… Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible.
Proverbs is all about heeding words; The Word of GOD, words of wisdom, words of knowledge, words of understanding and even words of evil and words of fools. We have to heed word that are written, words that are spoken and words that are thought. When we handle words or matter with careful wisdom and a desire to actually improve our life it is because we trust The LORD and we will be happy no matter what our situation is.
Trusting GOD is the key to understanding the difference between good and evil words or matter; and the difference in the choices we make. Faith – Trust in GOD are the power that enables us to make the right decisions, stay on the narrow road, turn from our wicked ways, take up our cross and follow JESUS.
Seek GOD First!
GOD Bless, Bob & Charlene
