Oh To Be Wise Meditations
We need someone to speak into our lives. Someone who will ask the tough questions of life while speaking the truth in love. To not embarass you in public but go to you in secret and correct you. Ask about your marriage, your family, and your financial situation. Even if it makes people uncomfortable, the Holy Spirit will send comfort after a necessary rebuke. Be on your guard for someone! If your brother or sister sins, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. If they sin against you seven times in a day, and turn to you seven times, and says, 'I repent,' you must forgive them. Let us do the things that were ordered by Christ for us to do. Have faith that he will use us for his glory and purposes. We all need to see how far we are receding from the standard of Christ. The waves and the winds of the world push us away from Jesus. Many times we do not realize how for we have gone into laziness or sin. There needs to be someone who can give you a warning or an encouragement to swim back to the shores of grace. If you keep being stubborn after many warnings, you will suddenly discover you have gone too far. A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery. I will speak for you will you speak for me? Lord, give me love for my neighbor to ask them how they doing? Give me your common sense to give good advice. And give me your patience to just listen and love. Meditate Prov. 28:23
