Today’s Thought “Advice From on High” G. Ward

 

“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

 

The authority of scripture should be the insistence in every believer that compels others seeking resolution, peace, concerning the unrest once experienced. Pragmatic posturing (i.e. opinions, sounding prudent), understands very little about individual’s responses (from opposing forces). On the other side, rarely will one contemplate the advisor to the supposed victimizer. When theirs arrives by ill-advised pragmatists and yours by opinionated pundits; NO PEACE…

There exists a perfect resolve (cf. Ro.10:8), that demands an interrogative process begin (2 Ti.2:15). Clarity about next steps must emanate from seeking Him (the Word, Jn.1:1), then obscurities are minimized (Mt.6:33). Unfortunate for our times, many orators compel us towards quick responses; making the contemplative review necessary in limiting mistakes, something of the past (or antiquated). While our modernity desires speedy deliverance in problem solving, the word of God insists; “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isa. 40:31).

Happy Thursday!
