Job 10:13-14. “And these things thou hast hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee. If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.”
JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. It is not uncommon when things seem to go wrong That we take it in hand to decide That we are being picked on whether we are weak or strong Some one is out to get us and to deride What we think are accomplishments but are really acts of the flesh And we conclude wrongly they are out to get us We look at the perceived unfairness only, not considering God wants to bless Teaching us on Him alone to place our trust.
When accusations come and we start to plan our revenge Take time to stop and think Rather than, “When I find out who did this, I’m going to send It back to them and really create a stink!” Give them something to bless them if you possibly can Or else make no fuss at all If they receive your gift, you’ve gained the man Or by silence, the matter will stall.
God doesn’t allow more than He knows we can take And to jump to conclusions about Him Will not bring any satisfaction or answers, but will make It easier with our mouth to sin To accept gracefully the trials that come no matter what is the source Will add strength to our character and testimony And these testing times, painful they be, soon will run their course
Perhaps making us stronger than we used to be.
If I have no explanation as to why someone accuses It is best to turn and walk away If there are some things to say, a wise person chooses Carefully all the words they say Challenges that are made but the premises are false Usually do not last too long To jump to conclusions without taking the time to pause May make everything to come out wrong.
“O God, this problem does happen in me sometimes. I am looking for a reason and end up with a wrong conclusion. Give me I pray, the wisdom to quietly wait for the outcome, and trust in Thee all the way through. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
