Dont Plug the Holes

Have you ever gone fishing and while you were sitting in your boat you noticed that water was coming in. This has happened to me more times than I would have liked, from the sides,in the back,holes all over the place. Water just seemed to keep filling the boat no matter how many times I would plug the holes or try to fill the spot where the problem was coming from. I was reading Proverbs 22:3 today and it says,"A sensible person sees danger and takes cover, but the unexperienced keep going and are punished. I gave the thought about the boat b/c it made me think about this. Have you ever tried to do something about a bad situtation and it just seemed to get worse every time you tried to fix it or patch it up. Or while the leaks keep poping up you notice that with all Your efforts you at most plug the leak temporarly and then later on it sprouts all over the place again, and most of the time you dont even see it coming or where from. Well I have four thoughts for the day since this is my first teacher mode in awhile.

1. YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO TOLORATE.(AKA Pastor Mike HAMENISM)
If you continue to just put bandades on the places that need stitches then the
same leaks will keep poping up. The boat needs to be taken out of the water and
the hole's need to be rapaired by the one who can completly restore and not
just plug it temporaly.
2. THERE IS WISDOM IN THE COUNCEL OF MANY,BUT DESTRUCTION FROM BLINDFOLDED APPROACH.
Usually there is someone out there who has been in the boat a few more times than
we have ask them there experiences and what to look out for. Dont attack w/o
knowing your enemy. Always examine what it is your dealing with dont just go
head on w/o knowing what your dealing with.
3.PLAN AHEAD.
If your original plan dosent work dont keep pushing out further into the water
while the plugs keep failing, know before hand you will have another plan in
case your first fails.
4.LEAN ON THE WORD!!!!!!
Dont take someones opinion to heart, everyone has an opinion which would make
truth relative to each persons own opinion. Go to the WORD, see what God has to
say and if it matches wht you hear great, but if not stay away and stick to Gods
word. That makes everything black and white.
