Think About It -- Do Somethng
King Solomon tells us that many are the thoughts of man
~ but it is the counsel of the Lord that stands.
~ Proverbs 19:21
The word translated as 'stand' is 'ta-koom'
whose translation has some serious wiggle room
ta-koom here can mean either 'the counsel will stand'
or 'you will stand.' And ain't that just grand!...
'Cos the second way changes this proverb into a command:
Don't waste precious time thinking about all your plans
The Lord's counsel is: 'Arise, Get up ~ DO something, man!'
