THEY RUN FROM WISE COUNSEL “They will turn away from the truth and turn aside of fables.” They will turn to that which looks and sounds good, they will cling to that which is false. Sometime truth will hurt, crush ego and make us reevaluate our lives. Folks who are caught up in religion will refuse the Word; they will relish what is wrong and run from wise counsel. But God is looking for a people who are willing to develop and maintain a meaningful, productive, and fruitful relationship with Him. Paul says that there are a few things you need to do. WATCHFUL IN ALL THINGS is discreet: be sober, watch, observe in all things. Watch the company you keep, the things you say, the places that you go and the examples that you set. “WHATEVER THINGS ARE TRUE, NOBLE, JUST, PURE; LOVELY OF GOOD REPORT THESE ARE THE THINGS TO MEDITATE ON.” ENDURE AFFLITIONS to stand, undergo hardship, endure afflictions and suffer trouble. We may have to endure hard times, heartache, heartbreak, persecution, being misunderstood and the list goes on. Paul tells us that “OUR LIGHT AFFLICTION, WHICH IS BUT FOR A MOMENT, IS WORKING FOR US A FAR MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY, WHILE WE DO NOT LOOK AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN. FOR THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN ARE TEMPORARY, BUT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL.”
