You need to know your own Bible.  That's really what it all seems to come down to!  Although counsel makes a man wise, how can you know whether or not it is Godly without knowing your own Bible?  How can you compare the two to see if they line up?  I guess that's the problem in our modern-day... we're lazy.  We'd rather just take whatever advice we've been given; and then if it turns out to be sour advice?  Oh, well blame the counselor - after all, it was his fault that I listened to him.

I need to study my Bible better.  I want to know my Bible so well that I know what advice is Godly and what one isn't.  What counsel lines up under God's Words, and what doesn't.  I don't want it to be easy for me to slide right into a wrong, unbiblical way of living because I listen to "all the flutes around me"... and simply don't the scriptures for myself.

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."

the simplest of notions can put my heart at so much peace as I think about it's truth.  Bekah told me: Just STOP. Live like you are the branch on a vine... not the vine itself, Anna.   That's not what you are. I'm just a branch.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's trying to fill me and give me what I need to thrive. I can't thrive, much less breath   all on my own.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's not me. praise you, Lord.  Precious Lord, YOU are my vine <3  Make my heart the soft, tender heart of a child to rest in YOUR life-giving!
