Topic: Don’t keep mute [Saturday May 9, 2015]
“…But woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.” –Ecclesiastics 4:10
Many are victims of their present predicaments because they decided to keep mute about it. They think that an assumed award of endurance is worth the pain of correction or reproof. This causes problems because in actual fact, the call for help is not a sign of weakness but one of strength. Done in the right way and with the right people, it allows you avoid potentially devastating circumstances and provides for you wisdom handle the situation.
Many people are confronted with various challenges in their home: ranging from an abusive husband, lack of care and support, cheating and infidelity, struggling with wrong habits and even emotional torture; yet they keep mute and refuse to seek help or godly counsel. You must understand that there are situations you cannot handle alone. You need someone that is experienced, especially spiritually, to help through it successfully.
This help can only be found if you come out of your shell and ask for it. No one can read your mind, so don’t expect others to know exactly what you are going through without speaking out. God did not make you in isolation. He has placed helpers around you to reduce every burden you may have carried, so make use of them.
However, you must note that it is not everybody you run to for help. Make sure they are proven godly individuals with proven results of positive counsel. Also, check all counsel alongside the Word of God, to ascertain you are on the right track. That issue must not consume you; you will overcome in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Remain Blessed!
