Proverbs
8:35-36
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain
favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all
they that hate me love death.
When we determine God’s way
of doing things we find life. We sense
the support and intimacy our Father so wants us to have with Him. If we stiffen our necks and run our own lives
we will not only grieve His heart but our own souls will be treated so harshly
in this life. Our emotions, will and
intellect will go through unnecessary torment by going against the counsel of
the Lord for our lives. If we are foolish
women who don’t want to hearken to His counsel, we are actually loving
death. Our choices against His counsel
will drain us of life and soon we will be going through the motions without
life numb and calloused. We need to
watch, wait, hear and find what the Lord has to say to us about every area of
our lives. If we find ourselves
recklessly choosing without regard to His counsel, we MUST humble ourselves and
ask Him to revive the fear of the Lord within us. We must not HATE counsel or
we will be invited ‘death’ into our lives.
