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.
