Seeking Counsel

This question came to mind this week.

“Indigo would you rather be a wise woman or a venting fool?”

Let’s get to the set up:

My husband and I just moved out of the country side for a more city feel in Asheville, NC. Which makes me feel like I’m back in Los Angeles just a little bit. We all know when we move for those of us who are still paying rent. You’re looking forward to your deposit. Well that was the cause with my husband and I. Before we turned over the keys to the leasing office we made sure the house was cleaned and we took picture to make sure we covered ourselves. We know that we we’re turning the house back in the shape we got it in when we 1st started renting. So when he got our deposit check back the night before he was upset for the amount they returned to us. So this show is about how I handle him telling me the situation of our money. I wanted to refer to Proverbs 29:11 because I needed to make a change for a different outcome.

Proverbs 29:11 says

“A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.”

Feeling the ole me:

This morning as I was getting ready for work and my angry level was at a 0, my husband politely tells me I have to tell you something that’s going to make you mad. Mind you I said my angry level was at a zero. I told him this. As I was asking him what was it he had to tell me? I found myself becoming wide awake, the anger in me was awaken as well. I was slowing rising up to 50 and he hadn’t even told me what the issue was. I was feeling the tingling in my head where my stress gets heighted and it wasn’t even 8 am yet. Then he tells me the place where we just move out took about $200 from our deposit, adding that he is going to let me handle this.

Sometimes people like to unleash the devil in you until the world, because they don’t want to deal with the messy stuff. They know that the unsavage breast in you is a killer, enjoying the taste of blood after you have torn to pieces your meal.

That what my husband wanted. He wanted to be beauty while I became the untamed breast on these people.  Not using counsel, or being wise about this situations but to go in that office become dang fool demanding our money back. He wanted release the uncultivated me, taking my 50 adding it to my last 50 to go 100 on this leasing office.

I was starting to become a willing participant. Walking from room to room, looking for our old lease forgetting that I needed to get ready for work. I was getting myself armed for this. Ready to take the day off from work to drive the 30 mins to this leasing office to unleash the hounds. Losing myself the imagine guns were up and prepared to blazing these folks up while my beauty (my husband) sat back reaping from these after math.

The word of God says a fool gives FULL vent, but a wise man quietly holds back. So did I want to be a fool getting the same results, spitting fire at these folks, right across the street from the court house where my Beauty worked? Not only embarrassing myself but destroying the name he was making for himself in that small town. Or did I want to be the wise woMAN seeking the counsel of my Lord?

The Prayer:

My husband then came into the room and grabbed my hands and begin to pray for the day. Prayed for our health, and our strength and as he prayed

God began to speak to me:

“Let me fight your battle, haven’t I shown you that if you seek me and trust me with your fights that I will go into the battle and be victorious in your behalf?

After my husband finish I add Lord thank you for guiding us on this situation. For taking us out of the equation, for you fighting this battle. For putting the right words in my husband mouth to speak with this leasing office. Lord we thank you for the favor you have placed on our lives that no weapon formed against us will prosper. If we are wrong in our assessment of what we should had gotten back then Lord give us Peace to let it go. But if this leasing office has done us wrong in error work this thing out in our favor.

The Ultimate Warrior:

So I told my husband since you been dealing with this leasing office since we lived the house I’ll let God and you handle it. We all know I’m not the one to handle it, I’m still working on letting God Fight my battles for me

 Exodus 14:14

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still”

God is the ultimate warrior.  I’m tired of fighting against an enemy that thinks he can rule me because I let my emotion get to the best of me. If I control my angry and pray for where my counsel comes from I’m letting God do it. I’m gaining the upper hand. I have the best warrior on my side, because God is my General who has seen it all, heard it all and done it all. God has the best war plan. When kings were losing the war they seek their counsel, their generals, and captions for a plan of action. They don’t just rush in for the enemy to take them over and win the fight without a well thought out strategy plan.

I know this might not be a battle in your eyes. But to me this was not just about the money but for me to trust that God had it under control.

2 Chronicles 20:17

“You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions…”

My husband and I took our position when we prayed, we chose to seek God putting his word on the situation. That the favor of the LORD will be with us plus with the being wise god gave it to us to take before and after pictures and video when we moved in and out of the house.

…stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discourage. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.”

You may be your own warrior always taken up arms ready for the fight but chose a different stagey for your fight. Take a firm stand not fight your own battle you.

Take the first step: seek God’s counsel.

When you gave it to him your regain your peace, you trusted God to be your warrior. Your champion.

That was the hardest thing for me. I was so used to fighting in the nature with my words, my thoughts and if necessary my hands. But as I started to trust God, I see he is my greater adversary. Trust God with your Wars. Seek your counsel first, a wise man wins the battle without having to fight while a fool might win but it will only be short term and force wins don’t last long without repercussions.

We have too much going for us. We have God’s favor, so retirement your breasts your warrior or whatever it is you call the untamed ready to pop off you.  Be a beauty. As for my breast it’s retired because I’m ain’t trying to go to jail in no small town.

You can take this for what it’s worth, I’m just saying…
