Consider, means, to deliberate and fix the mind and heart on something.
Man is surrounded by things and conditions, which will make or break him; according as
he considers and uses them to his weal, or woe. There is everywhere an abundance of
knowledge and wisdom, for those who will consider their worth, and gird up the mind, and
make a fix determination of heart to acquire them. Jehovah, has all the wisdom and
knowledge, for He is a, or rather THE GOD of these two essential adjuncts, to enjoy life
and existence, here, and in the presence of God and the holy angels, who excel in
strength, knowledge and wisdom. To consider, aright, is so far reaching with results, God
yearns over us with it. "Oh that they were wise to consider." [reference not
legible]. He calls on those who forget Him to consider, lest He tear them in pieces.
Ps. 50:22.
You go back to any sin you committed, and look at yourself, before you did it, you will
find you did not consider, else you would not have brought that sin into existence,
against yourself. If you say you would repeat it, it shows you will not consider the
result of sin, and you are blinded by the Devil to serve him.
If you care to consider sin at close range, look into your own carnal mind, when it is
active, by your consent, and it will drag out sin between you and Heaven, to make you
think that you are on your way to Hell, which you are, unless you consider to repent, and
turn away from your sins.
God gives each human being, one life on earth to consider time and eternity, to act
wisely or foolish about them, as he thinks best for himself. When this fact is considered:
That all who go to Heaven and Hell, go by their own choice, A sinner considers and decides
to live in more or less sins through life; when he dies, his sins break out into the
flames of Hell. Luke 16:23.
