Who is Advising us? Is he/she Trustworthy? Whenever we have an issue we need advice for, we usually look for a professional or somebody who we know is an expert on the subject. For sure we are not going to trust anyone who has no experience or has a poor “career” performance. We might like the person’s ideals, but if he/she shows immaturity, we are surely not going to give him/her the benefit of the doubt for we might lose; I could surely say we’d lose, for anyone who is immature must probably has not been accredited by the proper authority. And you could say Who’s authorized to do that? There are many ways anyone can be credited to give us advice on something important, but not everyone is fitted despite the effort, intelligence, advantage, means, in fact, we are all disqualified if we do not have the most important element, and that is FAITH. And not only in yourself or in whatever you are performing, but in the author of it, in the author of us, and of the whole Universe, Whom many of us do not acknowledge when something good happens. Some even accuse Him for not delivering them from any mishap as if He were indebted to us. NO, He is NOT indebted to us. We are the ones who are indebted to Him for leaving his kingdom and coming to this sin corrupted world in order to cleanse us and make us free, to be apt for living eternally, only for believing and trusting Him. Some may not believe that because they have not had the encounter they need to make them change and have a strong conviction. They must ask God in prayer to show Himself to them, for the times are bad and His coming is close. If we trust Him He will protect us when we ask Him. The Bible says: Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. (Psalm 127.1) If we are humble enough to ask God to be our advisor, He will keep us safe always and in the day on His Wrath when He comes to charge all the arrogant nonbelievers for their deeds on earth. One prophet said: Seek the Lord all you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances; seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.(Zephaniah 2.3) Our mothers could be good advisors if humble too, so we must congratulate them always. Happy Mother’s Day!!!
