Deep Discretion

  “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Advances in the field of investigative journalism have provided solutions to many problems in life, particularly the misleading judgement from hasty generalization. Otherwise, the diverse human perspectives on all subject matters in life are easily exploited by the privileged people in our world against an honest pursuit of the truth. And although the products from investigative journalism are admirable to people; in most cases, the penalty of time, talents and treasure for the exercise is often on the high side and mostly discouraging. Whereas, the righteous children of the Lord can also explore the privileges of searching the hearts; not on the field of investigative journalism, but on their knees in prayer. Rather than harping on the human knowledge from surface discretion, deep discretion is leveraged by those who care to seek the face of the Lord for guidance and clearer...

Right Route

  “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/114/pro.21.2.nkjv Pursuing safety with a multitude of counsel is not as difficult as staying safe in the path of the chosen counsel.

Even the motives of any man cannot be trusted with his own counsels; needless to vouch for the counsels from men in business. Unfortunately, when the motives of men in business begin to undergo transformation, finding safety along the way becomes complicated.

Obviously, it is always possible to uphold the God-factor in the pursuit of the right route in life, if only every heart will be willing to separate personal ...

Real Reign

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/pro.21.1.nkjv Lack of acknowledgment of the real master in all of human services robs the beauty and blessing of sacrifices from everyone. Consequently, a proud heart desires more honour and position than it is commonly authorized; a contentious woman demands more control than it is necessary for the comfort and peace at home; and a greedy resource manager authorizes the diversion of resources for selfish enrichment more than it is remunerated. Resistance to these human desires, demands, and diversions often lead to agitation and fluctuations in most homes, offices, and organizations, whereas all efforts are expected to be focussed on the offering of services with the simple joy of engagements. Even when the party in position of authority is assumed derailed, all desires and demands are expected to remain the continual establishment...
