daily prayer

Good hot hot hot morning! How are we faithing? There are some things that God abhors. Some things we do that most times we don't even realize we do or have done. These things do not condemn us to hell if we are in Christ but nether the less they are commands we ought to follow. We have grace and sanctification when we accept Jesus and our sins never ever remove that salvation but we still should, out of love for Jesus and out of plain desire to do good, obey his commandments. Our tongues and our attitudes will work on us how we work them. If you are judgemental, it'll come back. If you talk smack on people you kill your witness and if your witness is dead you won't be leading the lost to Jesus and I don't know about you but I don't want that on my head. So we witness out of fear? No, we witness out of love but realizing the reality of no witness sure is a motivator. Look at these;

Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things which the LORD hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
Haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.
NAS

Romans 2:1-16
Therefore you are without excuse, every man of you who passes judgment, for in that you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things. And do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment upon those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God. For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law; and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; for not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
Teach us to pray. Teach us to seek wisdom. Lord help us not seek our own glory but yours. We ask for wisdom and consciousness of our tongue before it flaps. Lord we ask that our senses of your will and presence be ever visible to us. We lift this country and it's leaders to you. We do ask for wisdom and courage in the gulf.We ask these things in Jesus name, amen
