15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. - Proverbs 18:15-17
Dear Friends,
Sometimes we are just ready for a change. We can become tired of the same old same old. There is a desire for things to be different. We resolve that this year will be unlike those that have gone before.
Please consider the Word of God before you make your move. There are many accounts of men and women in the scriptures who made decisions, waged wars and abandoned posts without consulting God. There were consequences. In some instances there was room for recovery in others the damage done was beyond repair.
In Proverbs 18:15 we are told that the prudent, those who are steady, steadfast -- get knowledge. They seek wisdom.
Before you make your move, before you act on any decisions such as:
- Taking a job
- Selecting a college
- Buying a house
- Getting married
- Sending that "quick response" email
- Making that "hasty" phone call
Before you make your move consult God.
Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs us to:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Remember, before you make your move...
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
