September 15, 2022 -- Proverbs 10:6 -- What is on your head?

People loved by the Father, in the Spirit's power: Sh'ma ~ hear and obey Jesus!

Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
   but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
Proverbs 10:6 ESV

Over the last ten days or so I did a lot of traveling. Whenever your travel you meet all kinds of people—and many wearing all sorts of headgear. There are turbans and caps; yarmulke and hoodies. Whatever is on your head is obvious to all who look at you. According to Hebrews Jesus is crowned with glory and honour (2:9). Because the crown of glory and honour rest on His head, all His followers are those whose lives bring blessings to others. It is as obvious as the crown on Christ’s head. The true followers of Christ live to honour their Savior and Lord and such obedient service to Him results in the blessing of others.

Sometimes it is hard to read the lips of even your best friend. What may seem like a scowl is actually laughter being held back. Equally, the smiling face of a wrong-doer can suddenly spit out curses and hateful words.

Here is the lesson from this proverb—as you have received blessings and salvation from God the Father through Jesus Christ—then bless others. Let your words be seasoned with kindness and your lips pour forth encouragement. Such living is the crown of Christ already becoming visible upon your head.

Father in heaven, You have crowned Your Son with glory and honour and blessing. Praised be Your Name for the gift of Jesus and His reconciling work. Triune God, as Your favour rests on us, help us, Your people, to radiate blessing to all we meet. Let the knowledge of Jesus Christ and devotion to Him fill this earth, as the waters cover the seas. Amen.
