Psa 119:21-22 KJV Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. (22) Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

Have you ever met someone whose life seems to be a never-ending stream of wrong decisions? One who never failed to go against God and conscience? One who is proud, bloody and unbowed? Watch and be warned oh ye Child of God, watch and be warned. At the end of their life, you will see it, you will either see the matured evil fruit of all their self projected labors, or worse the dry, parched, famine-stricken, lonely barrenness of a life going away taking with it a bad dream that cries to be forgotten. Beloved, this is the “rebuke” and the curse of the “proud”.

Watch and learned from the wisdom of the sages; read the epitaph on their tomb-stone. Is there not a lesson there for you, yea a parable?

When the day of “reproach” and “contempt” comes, can you contend with the Devil, the accuser of the saints with the Words of the Contract God has established and say “Not so foul fiend; get thee behind me Satan. I rebuke you and all your accusations. I have kept His testimonies; the blood of the Holy Son of God is on my soul; He bought and paid for all my sins, and even now He stands at the right hand of the throne of God interceding and atoning for my mistakes”.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(Rev 12:11 KJV)
