Last year, at a meeting for one of my businesses, one of my partners said that they encountered someone who had been exposed to our business but that the individual refused to hear any details about the business because they had ‘heard all that they needed to know’. A wealthy man in the business, my partner quickly said, well, you don’t know 5LINX!! Lol.
Far too often we make judgments about things prematurely.
Not many days ago, someone told me about a problem that they had been having for many years.
And then … they asked me what I thought. 🙂
I told them. Among my comments, I said, “OK, since you are admitting that you don’t know what to do, you must take this to Jesus. They explained that they already ‘took it to Jesus’ but that it was not getting better.
The bible clearly states:
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him (Proverbs 18:13).
Sometimes, taking a matter to Christ and hearing the conclusion of the matter is a long process. I have waited a few years to get answers or resolve. Sometimes His answer is to me is ‘Wait!’
So I wait.
He’s still sweet.
He is still precious to me.
He is not ignorant to our infirmities.
He loves us dearly.
He is sweeter than the honey on a honey comb!
The icing on the cake is that once you try Him, I mean, really, really try Him, you will know what I mean and you will never try an alternative. Until that day I say without apology, you don’t know Him.
