daily prayer

       Good morning! How are we faithing? How do you deal with confrontational people? Ever had that one person who is itchin to start a fight? That person who is looking for a reason to get into it with you? Or how about that person who gets ticked off when you say something in innocence and obviously they took it wrong? You know, it's understandable why the Word tells us to let our yes be yes and our no be no.  Some people are on the defensive all the time and everything is an affront to them. Some people are always wary that others are out to get them and they want to strike first. How should we as believers in Messiah Jesus act and react? It takes dedication to keep ourselves from emotional responses that are not in line with what was said or done. Trying to see intent unclouded by our own baggage is not always easy. I present an idea for us all to try in our walk.  Stop, listen, observe before we react to what may possibly be innocent comments or actions that you or I don't really have anything to do with. Seeing the heart like God does is a worthwhile endeavor because our actions can perpetuate a bad scene or squash it before it festers.  Give it some thought...



Eph 4:1-3
  I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,   with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;   giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Mat 5:37  

Instead, let your message be 'Yes' for 'Yes' and 'No' for 'No.' Anything more than that comes from the evil one." 

remember Sebastion...remember Baily...

Heavenly Father,

 We praise your name. We love your Word Lord. We ask for wisdom and insight to see the heart of others. Calm those mentioned. Relieve their pain. Touch those around them with your love and peace. Protect the children and emergency workers, in Jesus name, amen
