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?
