Consider what God has done; Who can straighten what he has made crooked? When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything with his future. In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness. Do not be overrighteous neither be overwise--why destroy yourself? Do not be overwicked--and do not be a fool--why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all "extremes." Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city. There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins. Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you--for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others. --Ecclesiates 7: 13-22 [NIV] This is what I read from the Word today. I thought it would be worth a read for those who would examine their ways --and what they do ; or are doing. --Love and Harmony

MIISRAEL:
Thank you so much for this wisdom.
It reminds me of another scripture:
JUDGE NOT THAT YE BE NOT JUDGED.
FOR WITH WHAT JUDGEMENT YE JUDGE, YE SHALL BE JUDGED.
AND WITH WHAT MEASURE YE METE, IT SHALL BE MEASURED TO YOU AGAIN.
WHY BEHOLDEST THOU THE MOTE THAT IS IN THY BROTHER'S EYE BUT CONSIDERST NOT THE BEAM THAT IS IN THINE OWN EYE?
THOU HYPOCRITE!
FIRST CAST OUT THE BEAM OUT OF THINE OWN EYE. AND THEN SHALT THOU SEE CLEARLY TO CAST OUT THE MOTE OUT OF THY BROTHER'S EYE.
MATTHEW 7:1-5

Hello Ms. Shields,
While I do agree with the wisdom of --Ecclesiastes 7: 13-22, I would ask you if you do not know that the Bible is the testimony of the Jewish people to the world of how God has helped them in their times of trouble with other people as well as personally help them?
So, as you could show me wisdom from the Bible now show me wisdom from Ms. Shields, as well.
So consider this question, do you believe that the same God, which came to the Hebrew people, could also come to us, Black Americans?
Tell me what you think.

Let me thank all of you for your fine comments.
Harry, if you please I appreciate your comment too, but I only wanted to give encouragement this time. Perhaps, it is my wisdom to stick only with that today.
Blessings to you all.

Hello Ms. Shields,
What is wrong with answering my question? Do you believe that the same God that came to the Hebrew people could also come to Black Americans who are descendents of slaves? Is that not a legitimate question to ask? Is it not a question fill with wisdom to ask as well?
Tell me what you think.

Hello Harry: Today is another day, so I will answer your question. From the understanding I have of God he is omnipresent. This makes him already come, already here and those who seek him even Black Americans will find him. The answer is Yes, I believe God is in everyplace is readily present. Thus, I have answered your question in the same manner it was asked with all the wisdom I have. If this disappoints you --I have no other answer to give you. So now I will bless you to be encouraged as I did in my blog above. Thank you for displaying with courtesy patience. With much love.

Hello Ms. Shields,
I know that you do not like dialoguing. However, please let me say this, you answer is a neutral. God being omni-present is a neutral answer. In other words, when God came to the Hebrew people God was being omni-present and I right. So, perhaps you really did not understand my question.
I was being specific when I pinpointed the Hebrew people. I was also being specific when I pinpointed Black Americans.
There should have been no doubt in your mind about my specificity that God came to the Hebrew people since God instructed Moses to paint the Lamb’s blood on the door posts of the Hebrew houses that the angel of death would pass over, thus the ritual of the Passover was created.
Now, I truthfully believe that you understand the question I was asking. To answer my question in a generalized or neutral way you are not being up right and honest with me. But, I cannot make you to be right. You would have to want to be right.
So, thank you anyway.

For the Harrys of the world, "SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND" does not mean that one should use this as a permanent permit to be used to abuse the WORD(S) of the Bible / our fellow man.(smile)
