One of the most disconcerting things
that can happen at a meeting is when someone shares a problem
or is vulnerable in an area, and as soon as she finishes speaking,
all the others rush in to give advice. That is a ministry of
death. Recently, I wrote a devotional on being slow to speak. I think it takes a long time to learn to speak when silence is comfortable, and to be silent when you feel like exploding because something must be said. Much damage is passed on from one believer to the other because we don't seem too interested in obeying the Philippians 4:8 command to rule our own thoughts. If I have a thought that is ungodly, I may or may not realize it. Some things are evident as soon as they hit the mind. But sight at different levels depends on the amount of prayerful attention to the Word of God. People of God, please. . . let's walk in the Light. Those who walk in the Light do not need to be correcting others constantly because of a personal need to display knowledge. Lord, I realize that I don't realize. Teach me to wait for Wisdom. Work in my heart so deeply that I cannot breath unless I know you are in complete control. I want you so desperately, yet I often bolt ahead. Do whatever is necessary to bring about the deep changes needed. I want to be like you. |
