Proverbs 1:25
"But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof"
In order to refresh our minds: Solomon was the Author of the books of Proverbs and he wrote the book in his young age with a lot of wisdom.
Brethren, the love and mercy of God are beyond our understanding. Even the grace of God avail when we least expect. However, we should not willfully disobey the truth in the word and instruction of God. Despite God’s love for us, we must not treat his counsel and reproof in His words as we treat counsel from man.
The counsel and reproof of God is in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. We all need God for proper divine direction. When God is consulted and Glory given to God upfront, eternal success is guaranteed. God is not to be approached like a vending machine. That is, going to God only when we need HIM.
God counsel is forever accurate in many ways, but we ignore Him. After His initial counsel, if we ignore Him, then He reproofs us. Reproof is an extra mile love of God to re visit us! If we still ignore God after reproof, he will not leave us but will be quiet towards us while watching over us in love. Many times, Christians in the same way with non-Christians, allow pride and personal opinion to get in the way of Jesus. This hinders path to our miracles. Which direction do we go when God’s opinion and thoughts seems to clash with ours? The admonition this morning is to go God’s ways. The “seasons” we experience every time is of the Lord. God can turn bad seasons around for good. God can move your mountains without your help. Be calm and listen to GOD in all things! AMEN!
