A Time To Hide Part Two

 

Today's verse is Proverbs 27:12

     A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;

      But the simple pass on, and are punished.

    Wait, did I not write about this two days ago? When God says something once, we are to take notice and listen, not only listen, but hear, and do! Now, if he repeats himself, should we not take special care to understand? What is Jesus’ general command to those that are being persecuted? Is it not to flee? Again, there is a time to stand, and a time to hide, and a time to flee. Often to distinguish between which of these we must do, we need to be sensitive of the leading of the Spirit of God. If we must stand, know that we might suffer (even unto death.) If we are to hide, we still might be found, but then we must take our stand. If we flee, we are not to remain silent, but preach Jesus Christ to all that just might hear, (God knows, we do not.) But who is the Prudent man? Is it not he that pays attention, that knows what is happening about him, and considers the proper response? Selah [Are you paying attention?] Amen.

To God be the Glory
