Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
There are times in life where God might send some preacher, person, or fellow Christian, to diffuse the situation that has obtained, but we must be willing to listen to God’s voice at all times. Instead of stoning the messenger, instead of steeling our hearts against any advice or counsel it would be better if we, like David will say, blessed be thy advice when it’s coming from a good, reliable source.
God is still speaking to ticked off Christians, but the question is are we still listening, for if we do, we will find in many situations that there is a way out of our predicament, without having to resort to revenge, violence, or the use of force. Thus, instead of standing your ground as the world does, let us stand on the promises of God, and be willing to hear when He speaks, for if we do, we can be saved a whole lot of problems and repercussions if we had gone the revenge route.
We therefore end with a passage of Scripture that will encourage us to listen, for even though we are beset with dangers on every side, God still has one thousand ways and means of resolving difficulties, which to human minds may seem to be evasive.
Proverbs 3:4 So shalt thou find favor and a good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
