Practical Advice

6/9/2007

 
In recent days God has been providing me with more opportunities to be used as an instrument of His grace and to provide counsel and advice to those who ask for it...
Within the past week or thereabouts several men approached me with regard to their marital situations. I feel unqualified, of course, to give any advice along this line. Yet God is the one who provides His children with spiritual wisdom. And I definitely seek such wisdom from Him along with a spirit of humility on my part.

I know, too, that the Lord Jesus never considers a single soul as being beneath His help. And with this in mind, and because the Scriptures do say that if I need wisdom concerning a matter, that I could ask for it in faith and I will receive it. And God hasn't disappointed me yet. He always comes through.

Thus I have been able to spend time with a few of the men. I also try to encourage each one as well as urge him to put his concerns in the hands of God. My role, I believe, is primarily to point others to God's throne of grace where mercy, strength and true spiritual wisdom can be found. Likewise I try to point each man to the Bible.

I'm grateful for the chance to be there for my friends in times like this. And there were times when some of these men came to my aid when I myself was facing some tough issues.

D.B.
