It’s Good to Know


 


By


h. lena jones


 


 


It’s good to remember that when you’re down


When friends don’t seem to understand


That there is always one whom you could turn to


One whose peace surpasses understanding


One who will never let you down


For He promised “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.”


 


It’s good to remember “that a merry heart doeth good like medicine


But a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22)


 


It’s good to remember “He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears” (Proverbs 26:17)


 


It’s good to remember that “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:28)


 


It’s good to remember to “Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips” (Proverbs 27:2)


 


It’s good to remember that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7)


 


It’s good to know that meditating on the book of the law day and night brings prosperity and success (Joshua 1:8)


 


It’s good to know “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13)


 


It’s good to know that “they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).


 


It’s good to know!

"When friends don't seem to understand" is, dear Lena, I believe a sign of the times.

Too many have lost empathy for another, and also their ability to listen and understand. We are to minister to one another in Christ's grace with the wisdom and the knowledge and the anointing that He bestows at the moment of our asking for another.

Too many don't have that connection anymore. They spout their platitudes and their contrivances and then move on and wonder why miracles don't happen because they said something.

Suffering and struggling is very personal, and there are very few who care or understand anymore about anothers battles.

All the scriptures you quote reveal what the Creator has promised all those who trust and believe in Him.

You are a light that I really appreciate. You are not a jealous person and you have compassion for your fellow man, redeemed or not!

That is beautiful.
I especially like the part: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, with emphasis on beginning. He who would think more of himself knows not how large our Lord and God really is.
Keep writing,
God Bless,
Lew
