“I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.”~ Psa. 119:59
Brief statements such as: “I never thought of it that way”; “Think it through”; “Give it some thought,” are not just fluff, they have some real and meaningful substance connected to them. You’ll find them, sometimes hidden, throughout the scriptures.
I do not know if David would have, generally speaking, agreed with the little quip, “Don’t give it a second thought.” Many of us have gotten ourselves in hot water because we didn’t think twice. Impulsive thinkers, for the most part, regret their hasty decisions.
Peter was one such, like some of us, his mouth moved while his brain was idling. As a result it caused him grief of soul, “And when he thought thereon, he wept.” He would not have had to have this painful second thought, had he given some long thought at the beginning.
David was one who believed in using, as Hercule Poirot puts it, “the little grey cells.” David gave thought to his ways. The times when he neglected to, spelled out heartache, and at one interval in his life, real tragedy, both to him as well as others.
“What we do will follow us into another world when what we have must be left behind.” (Matthew Henry)
