Good morning! How are we faithing? I had one written and hit a couple buttons and it all went away. Bummer man. Gotta be smarter than the tool I'm using I suppose...found some interesting scriptures that I want to share.
Pro 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
That one explains to me what repent and believe means. We have to admit the sins in our life and stop doing them. We may mess up and do them from time to time but at the least repenting from them means that when we repeat them, we recognize that we did and we get sorrowful and even a little mad at ourselves for dropping the ball...again. Like we could hide them from God anyways. Check this next one out;
2Ch 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Wow. Heal their land. Do you see what is happening in this country? Don't point fingers, this starts with you. When we all do this the result is right in that verse. We are on a collision course with "another country down the tubes" if we don't do this. We have the luxury of hindsight and scripture. I believe time is short and we have got to seek our savior daily, look out beyond our own selfish desires and lead people to the Christ. I'm not really into explaining to God why I didn't take a couple seconds to explain to that smelly homeless guy that he is loved by God but instead walked on by. Just think about that...
remember Lilia Burgos...remember the people of Monterey Mexico...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the cross. Thank you for redeeming me. Thank you for your love. Please please grant us vision and wisdom to see the lost and helpless. Grant us health, strength and fortitude to step where you would have us step. Grant us courage to face anything that leads to your glory. Lord, this world is getting weird and we ask for blessings on Mexico, America, Israel and the leaders. Father, forgive our stupidity, in Jesus name, amen
