Proverbs 10:21

"The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom." Proverbs 10:21

Lips and soup go together very well. A great combination of words is formed. Feeding your lips is mandatory. Have you ever thought of your lips as being the one that does the feeding? Have you ever thought of your lips being a soup kitchen? Ponder the idea....

Soup kitchens are designed to feed those in need or want. A lack of sustenance is possessed. The righteous should treat their lips as soup kitchens. Soup kitchens on wheels. The foolish are in desperate need, but the majority do not even know it. Their souls are starving for sustenance. The one thing that will fill the soul's belly is Jesus. Jesus is the source of nourishment that is required. He will give the foolish new life. A full life is given, not the vainness of the world that consumes their hearts. The righteous are to provide wisdom and the Word of God to those in need. The foolish will come, and we must stand in the gap to serve them the Bread of Life.

The soup lines are not always full. The spectators are often more numerous than the ones in the line. Both parties are in need. The curious are in line seeking to satisfy the hunger of their hearts. The spectators are the very hard hearted. They stand apart in prideful silence. The soup kitchen is beneath them. They have all that they need. "What could a measly kitchen line do for them? What could this "righteous one" have to say to heal the pain deep in my heart?" Pride speaks to their heart. Satan does his deed. No solution is thought to be found from the lips of the righteous. The pain can be dealt with. Satan tells them that they've made it this far, why not the rest of the way? Pride keeps them out of the line that they desperately need. Because of pride(and Satan), they will turn and leave. They will die for lack of wisdom.

Stand in the gap. The gap is how battles are won. Few can defeat many if the defender is stalwart. Go to the foolish. Give them the hope that lies in your heart. Nourishment is needed. Hearts are starving. Instead of just being a bread winner, be a Bread lender!
