Dr Bernard's power of Choices

WBlogger: The Dark Room - Edit Post "Dr Bernard's power of Choices"as listening to Dr Bernard's Sermon on Itunes on the power of choices quite some time back.
And it really opened up a new dimension of thinking in my life.
Kenneth was the one sharing about this sermon before I listened to it personally.

Stupid people are known by their stupid actions
- Dr A.R. Bernard

How true this is. Apart from the humor of the statement. It is otherwise true.
How a person is, we can determine it from the actions, the speech and the attitudes of a person.
Of course we are not called to judge others but we have to be discerning if the person we are having a close relationship with will bring us closer or further to our destiny.
Therefore, it is impt to pay attention to our actions and what we say, for it determines if we are a wise person or foolish. The Bible is very direct about the wise and the fools.

He who walks with the wise grows wise,

but a companion of fools suffers harm.
-Proverbs 13:20

I want to be someone whom God uses to bring others into their destiny. Wisdom is not knowing what to say, wisdom is knowing what to say at the right moment.

Dr Bernard also mentioned smth that is so powerful about our choices.

The Foolish Would React to Situations,
While the Wise will respond to it
-Dr Bernard

The fools when faced with a situation would let their emotions do the thinking instead of thinking of what to do. The Wise would plan and strategies on how can he overcome the situation.
Before Adam sinned, he is very wise, considering how he defended and had dominion over all the earth. He would plan and categories all the animals of the field, plan how to protect himself and Eve from the beast of the fields. He learned how to dive and fly, so that he could name the oysters, scallops and also name the eagles and hawks.

After Adam sinned, the Bible says his mind was darkened. When God walked by and looked for Adam, he hid himself from God. He was afraid of God. He allowed his emotions to do the thinking instead. That is why so many people run away from their problems instead of facing them face-to-face.

The fear of God is the beginning of all Knowledge, the Bible says.
But God Himself, is the source of Wisdom and He is the wise King.
Ask God about what is the next step in life, Guarantee plus 'chop' it will not go wrong.

Simple-minded

Recently God spoke alot to me on the chapter of Psalms 116
Here it goes:

Psalms 116:
Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death
1 I love the LORD, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

3 The pains of death surrounded me,
And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD:
“O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD
In the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I spoke,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11 I said in my haste,
“All men are liars.”

12 What shall I render to the LORD
For all His benefits toward me?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD
Now in the presence of all His people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His saints.

16 O LORD, truly I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows to the LORD
Now in the presence of all His people,
19 In the courts of the LORD’s house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!

Wow! This verse is in season during this period of my life. All I want is a simple heart, enjoying all that I do in my life. A simple heart and simple person is different. Simple-hearted people is what God loves.
All I wanna be is a bondservant of His.

Merry Christmas!!!

Oh Ya, received this book 'Killer Angels' by Micheal Saara from my cousins.
Seems like a good book.
Dun be deceived by the name of the book like its some satanic book.
Its about the American Civil war and about a particular Battle, the Battle of Gettysburg.
Read the reviews and it seems that this book would touch more on the character's moral, military and relational decisions. The main characters are the Generals and Colonels of both sides. Cant wait to read it!

=)

Signing off,

2007

2007 has not been a good year for me personally.
Many tears shed, many heartaches.

2007 had me on the verge of giving up.
Everything I have stood for, believed it.

2007, I felt lonely.
Alone, no one to talk to.

2007, didn't laugh as much, nor smile as much as I do.
Behind closed doors, many tears flow.


But God was faithful, is faithful and will always be faithful.
2008 will be the best year yet.
By the grace of God

google

Goodness. I googled my name and found this
