As I have already said, I belive that our Lord gives us ministry verses for each period in our lives. I have one today that I could not have claimed a few years ago. Back then, if a lady came to me for advice, I would have made suggestions and sent her home. If she came back, I would probably have politely said, "I've already told you all I know. I can't help you any more."
Well, the Lord wasn't pleased with this attitude, so He dealt with me. When He did I made this promise in Psalm 71:24, which became a current ministry verse: MY TONGUE SHALL TALK OF THY RIGHTEOUSNESS ALL THE DAY LONG.
I am not a trained counselor, but I now listen when a lady needs to talk to me--day or night--and I help her see what God's Word has to say about her ned.
