Good morning! How are we faithing? What a week! What a weekend! Things fly at us and most times they are just non dramatic things that life brings and sometimes...sometimes we get blindsided with events, comments, actions we see that blow our minds. Nothing is new though. Anything that happens to you and me isn't unusual or has not happened before to some one else or even repeats of our own. I watch and listen to people of all walks of life and try to see the root of what they are enduring. Lots of manifestation of anger or depression or gaiety are the product of how we deal with situations and thought processes we use. Which do you use? Do you pity party when things go awry? Do you complain when you are not receiving what you think you should? Are you being selfish? Do you look for the root cause or go off on a symptom? Do you "see" when someone is hurting and address that while ignoring their delivery of that emotion? It's hard to do that sometimes and sometimes we must calm a situation before healing can start but the fabulous thing here is with the wisdom of the Word and prayer, we can indeed get past the show of emotion and help with the cause. This also is true when we are in that state. I've caught myself whining inside and then recognise it. After a chuckle over falling into the same junk again I can repent, ask for wisdom and move on. This takes practice and it takes setting that ego aside and admitting the flaw.
JOHN 8:1-11
¶ Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
KJV
Did you see that? Jesus dealt with the people and the woman accused with the root cause. The people were guilty of sin but hadn't been caught, the woman was guilty but was forgiven and told to not do that anymore then sent on her way. Good lesson for us when we deal with people in our lives...
Remember Kellynn...remember Marie's family...remember Israel and the region in turmoil...remember our leaders...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for loving us. Thank you for saving us. Lord, we repent of our sinful ways and ask a forgiving spirit rest upon us and the wisdom to see root causes and address them in a manner glorious to you. Lord we do lift those mentioned today. We ask for clarity and a Godly mindset for them that they see what really matters. in Jesus name, amen
