verse of the day

Sunday 2 January 2011

Why did I say ,and do that?. [ 1 Kings 11v1-8 ]

One of the things I need more and more is wisdom, when to speak, or not to speak, and if I speak ,to say the right thing,also when to act or not to act, and if I act ,to take the right action. So many difficulties,problems, yes wars ,have come about ,because of unwise words and actions. Even wise Solomon acted unwisely,instead of relying on the gift of wisdom ,that God had given him, he let his natural feelings take over,and in old age ,he became an old fool. We are not so different from Solomon, his mistakes should be a warning to us all, how easy it is to act foolishly, and cause so much damage. It is not only the young who rush in where angels fear to tread, Solomon was an old man, age does not necessary free us from folly. Yes let us ask of God for wisdom, and He will grant it [James 1v5], but let us act on it, let us exercise it, let us not forget it, and cause a lot of harm to others, and ourselves.[ Dear God forgive us for our unwise words ,and actions,grant us the wisdom we need irrespective of our age, and help us to act on the wisdom You grant us ,in Jesus name .Amen ]
