Let your desire for riches be balanced. God blesses the one who, through his or her own efforts, achieves.
Experience is one of man’s best teachers that gives understanding. Without it, one can only put faith in the counsel of others who have gone through the (fire) turmoil to acquire the understanding they hold. The Bible advises us to listen to the discipline of a father and pay attention to know understanding; we need to do that, to listen and to have trust, then protect our life. It is a fool who does not believe that every house is constructed by someone who goes full speed ahead in his uneducated state and destroys himself and the lives of others.
Jehovah sees and hears from the reports of his angels and, as a merciful God, acts in ways that correct a man and humble him. Those who have had such experience from youth is a witness of that fact.
Therefore, I speak from experience that like a seed planted by the owner of a garden, in this case, Jehovah’s knowledge, as we grow with the teachings instilled in us from youth that protect us. From the actions of some, their wicked deeds can become like the heat from the sun that scorches and soon destroys. And like that of the seed that sprouts and begins to grow that soon withers and dies, so it is with humans not strong enough to fight back, give up on living. However, the owner of the garden is able to save some plants through his care, liken to our Heavenly Father, who does the same.
When Jehovah stated: your thoughts are not my thoughts, nor your ways my ways. We must believe and exercise faith in those words. For the intentions of the wicked ones, He is able to counteract by his servant’s adherence to His counsel. I stand accused by some, although I am innocent. Abandoned by others due to the wicked ones slander of me. The pain endured no one knows unless spoken. Therefore, my hope is that through my written words, some will become wise to act in kindness.
Without a doubt, He will not allow the one faithful to be tempted beyond what they are able to handle. He assures us of this in 1 Corinthians 10:13.
What you think you become. Surround yourself with people who will inspire, encourage, and push you to be the best you can be. Don’t give up on yourself. Ignore the foolish talk of those impotent in death. Remember, through our struggles, we are being refined. Appreciate each one’s role in your life, even when it hurts. Look deep within your soul to find yourself, your purpose, and your goals if you have set some that are yet to be achieved. No matter your age, we have yet to see more of God’s work here on this earth, for He is not slow respecting His promises as some people consider slowness of a world where there will be no death or mourning.
It Takes Two. Those who stand by you truly encourage you to go on in times of despair. Do not give up; exercise faith in our Creator, for He will never leave.
Better The End
