daily prayer

    Good morning! How are we faithing? Rainy morning...makes me sleepy...

   I hear some discussions that bring up disagreements on HOW things should be done but in the circles I am in, church, work, leisure, I don't  hear many disagreements on WHAT to be done. In the area of salvation each person has to be convinced of things in a manner that builds a foundation of faith for them. The way I am convinced of the grace God  may not be the thought process that solidifies your conviction. Along this premise we see fellow believers cutting down other believers over silliness like a shirt and tie for example. Aside from heresy we should allow a person to be convinced however they are convinced. Think about it, not all people see things the same. Not all people have the same experiences life has given them that you have therefore the thing that makes you say,"ahh..I get it" may make another say,"huh?" Present yourself as representative of Jesus and keep your mind focused on Jesus and not what you see and hear in others because it is Jesus job to show himself to each of us. Check this out;

Romans 14:1-5

 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. Let not him who eats regard with contempt him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.  Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and stand he will, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.
NAS

 Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for the conviction you have shown me. Help me see you at work in others and help me help them. Lord we do not want to cause anyone to stumble but only want them to know you. Lord, open our minds to the scriptures so we are continually convinced in our faith. We ask your touch on those mentioned. Heal bodies and minds. Help us all accept truth and rebuke lies, in Jesus name, amen
