Take the Advice!

Greetings my fellow friends.

Have you ever been that one person friends would go to you for advice or words of wisdom? Help of any sort?
I know I have.

I've really pondered over whether how much I've helped a person and made some sort of significant difference in their thoughts or choices.
I have no doubt that I have, but it doesn't hurt to wonder what more could I do for a person?
What more could I say that would go deeper than the very underlining of meaning?
What could I possibly partake in to know that I've made an impact that sticks?

In my past, I know I've said and partaken in a vast amount of tasks that by God has made a influential pact on my surroundings.

Yet, right now I've been blessed by the Lord to be able to help and guide others, especially pray for them. That's just a blessing to me knowing I can help in such a way.

Do my words of wisdom even stick?
I firmly believe the only way such words that I speak will cultivate in the lives of others is that they're Biblically based. Firmly, I trust that the Lord will speak through me to answer others prayers, concerns, and worries by blessing me with the words of encouragement and the actions of love, compassion, care, and kindness.

God has taught us to encourage and love one another. To take advice deep to the core of our very being and hold steadfast to the advice from God the Father.

“Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19:20-21 NIV

Lord has a purpose for His words of wisdom and what is spoken to you at the time it is during whatever one may be experiencing. It's His love and timing that prevails. It's His ways that prevails. It's His PLANS that prevail because they're made out to prosper you, never to harm who you are.

God loves you so much that His sent His only Son Jesus to die for our sins and this living Word in flesh taught us to accept and persevere.

James 1:2-12

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.

12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

The Lord has brought me stability and taught me to take advice for not only myself, but for others who are in need. That's just a piece of what I've gained in my God.
No longer do I just question certain aspects, but now I accept what it is, knowing God is the ultimate advice giver in our lives in all types of experiences and times.
Trust in the Lord, for He is His God. God said, "I will be your God and you will be my people."
He loves yinz so much. :)


The Lord will bring stability to your life if you just trust and look for advice, wisdom, guidance, and the fruit of the Spirit in Him.
In Him, you'll find serenity in your heart.

I pray that all of you take the advice of the Lord and follow in His pathways where He is a lamp to your very feet.

Praying for you all.

In the journey of faith in both light and dark--In Christ,

Mak
