Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 9 September 2019


Listening

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.” (Proverbs 12:15)

Today’s Morsel:  For about a month, each Sunday as we would leave the church, there was this truck in front of us with a bumper sticker that stated, “You can’t fix stupid.”  One of the things that I find when people are going through things in their life is many of them have a hard time listening to and accepting counsel.  The thing that keeps a wise man from becoming a fool is accepting Godly counsel.  A wise man is willing to be advised, desires to have counsel given to him, and he listens to it.  If we are not willing to listen when we are having issues, we may remain in our dilemma longer then we need to.  Solomon says, He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” (Proverbs 29:1)  In other words, don’t expect healing and deliverance if you aren’t going to listen to Godly counsel.  Stupidity hurts.

Sing: And he walks with me and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.

Thought For Today: Stupidity hurts.
