Sometimes the best thing to do in a conversation is to just be quiet. You can avoid a lot of hurt feelings and regrets if you just keep that mouth shut!
Going into battle armed with....trumpets? This strategy seems crazy-- if you are looking at it in human terms that is. When you face challenges, do you rely on your own strength or God's?
Life is sweet and meant to be enjoyed. And when you're young and have your whole life ahead of you, it's easy to feel carefree and wild. Fun seems to lie around every corner! But while enjoying all that today holds, it's easy to forget about tomorrow. You've got to keep in mind that the choices you make today may affect you for eternity. Don't do anything now that you will be ashamed of later. Enjoy life in such a way that you will have no regrets when you come to the end of it.
Sometimes there is a tendency for us to wait for the most favorable conditions before we are willing to begin God's work. There comes a time though, when the important thing is just to start working and obey obeying God. Do things according to God's timing, not yours.
God appreciates our true worship. We can accomplish true worship as we read His Word for guidance, confess our sins to Him together, seek to defend Him, His house and His people, and honor the Sabbath Day by resting. As we do these things, we too join in God's holy nation of true worshippers.
