The Math to Measure in Moments of Madness.

More than the moment...

A wise person knows there is more to life than the moment. As a matter of fact, a wise person knows there is more to life than this lifetime. 

There is eternity...

A wise person weighs the knowledge of eternity against every circumstance. They consider the will of God across the scope of existence. Here’s the math: this life + His character + His command + the judgement + eternity. Having done the math, they respond with those things in due regard and balance. 

A wise person also considers others, and how God thinks of THEM and what God's will is for them too. 

A fool is only in the moment.
A fool is usually in their feelings.
A fool is usually only thinking of self. 

"The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult." (Proverbs 12:16 ESV)

Thinking of ourselves this fine day, would we be characterized more as fools or as prudent / wise people?

Do we respond to everything in the flesh / in the moment or do we weigh it and wait upon the Lord and respond with His wisdom?
