Advice

Ecclesiastes 5 (random) Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.

To heed the last line, do I really need to add more? Can we not allow the Word to stand on its own and do a work it is meant to do?

So much of what I share here is a testimony of what God has done in my life. Being that I am human and the human condition is a common affliction I would hope that my examples might help others. They are my advice. But I am not every man, nor have I been afflicted with every ill. Many perhaps, but not all.

So I will end this here and ask you my readers to ignore what I have to say and read the opening verse for yourselves. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you in particular, privately, alone, without undo bias or opinion coming from me.

Be mindful of the Lord, not me.

  1. We used to sing a beautiful song written of this verse. After the first part, which mirrors the above verse it simply says: “Jesus, I am so in love with you…and, I stand in awe of You.”
    Wonderful song!
