Consulting
I’m just realizing that it’s been almost a month since I wrote last! Sorry everyone…
I was just reading today about Rehoboam, the son of Solomon. You know, as great as Solomon was and as wise as he was, apparently he didn’t prepare his son well for the future. We see that when he was given the kingdom of Israel that when he was approached by the people for some tax relief that he asked for time to consider a response. He consulted with two sets of people. One group was made up of the advisors his father Solomon had. They were older, wiser actually, and suggested that Rehoboam lighten the heavy burden on the people. The second group was made up of his young friends. They told Rehoboam that he should be even tougher on the people, make them fear Rehoboam. They were wrong in their advice. But guess what? Rehoboam took the younger advisors’ approach and the results were devastating. What’s the lesson here? Who you listen to is very important!!! Are you listening to the Lord through the Scriptures and in prayer? Are you talking to and relating to Godly people? Who you consult in this life will have a great effect upon your future! Get with the wise ones, not just someone you think you can relate to easily because of your age or stage of life. Blessings, PB

That’s what the old people always say… I’m just Joking!!!
There is so much wisdom that comes with perspective of life. What’s important, what’s worth investing in. There is a wealth of wisdom that can be gleamed from the Godly generations before our own. People whom have climbed mountains, and whom have fallen, and had the Lords grace with them the whole while as and he lifted them out of the enemy’s clutches.
