Mother's Journal-Wisdom, Danger, blessings and Curses

The modern theory that we should give vent to our feelings and express them is not godly wisdom. Prov. 29:11-A fool gives vent to his feelings, But a wise man holds the back.

It really seems that most of the danger to believers in the last days will come from those within the church. 11 Tim. 3:5-having a form of godliness(7)-always learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth (13) evil men and imposters will wax worse and worse.

God says all those beautiful things about Israel-Num.24:5-9, turns Balak's curse into a blessing and the very next chapt. 25:1----the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. v.1---and bowed down to their gods. This is mind boggling. And dear God, You knew this would happen and yet You had them blessed! But v.3 (Your) anger---was aroused against them v.4 (Your) fierce anger..and You had the offenders killed v.5-Indeed v.9 Those who died in the plague were 24,000. It is no light thing to spurn Your blessing and go in to disobedience, sin, and idolatry.

Acts 3:6,7- When Peter granted healing to the lame man, in Jesus' name, he also gave him a hand to helphim stand. So we, in encouraging and helping others, need to stand with them with more than words.
