Digging deep
No. 668
DAVID
Part 59
1 Sam. 25:14-17
INTRODUCTION:
In the
last part of this series, we saw that three things marked Nabal out
as a son of Belial: pride, ingratitude and unwillingness
to listen to advice. Today, we shall discuss the last of these
characteristics of a son of Belial. May God bless us richly as we
study in Jesus Name. Amen.
1.
IF YOU ARE WILLING, GOD WILL ADVISE YOU ALL THE WAY
It is
dangerous to live without constant words of advice. In fact it is
foolish to do so. Of course, the most reliable of counsellors is the
Lord of hosts Himself.
And He is willing to guide you for ever.

2.
JUST A WORD OF ADVICE
God’s
advice may run counter to what common sense will tell you. In fact
some of His pieces of advice are really hard. But then, He is the
Original Counselor.
