Good morning! How are we faithing? This issue has come up many times. "What other people are speaking of me." "So and so said thus and so". So what? Is it true? Did you or do you do what is said? If the answer is yes, fix what you can by behavior changes, apologies and repentance or ignore those words spoken in vain. Check this out;
Ecc 7:21-22
Also do not listen to all words that are spoken; lest you hear your servant curse you.
For also your own heart knows that you yourself have also cursed others many times.
Ah, there in lies truth. We cannot be so thin skinned to react to every idle word spoken against us. Battling constantly to save an image or a reputation base on what people say is silly. How you live, how you behave and what comes out of OUR mouths will bear true witness. Firing back on every comment makes us look just as ridiculous as the person firing on and about us. We claim salvation and forgiveness and we wont forgive others? We act like they do? Remember the parable Jesus taught? Read and remember the outcome;
Mat 18:32-35
Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, O wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have pitied your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you? And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him. So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also to you, unless each one of you from your hearts forgive his brother their trespasses.
I don't know how else to say this. Who do you serve? Man or God? If you serve man, good lick. If you serve God, serve and leave the fallout to him.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the security of your salvation. Lord as we learn things and as we explore new to us things, grant us wisdom to see truth and distinguish lies from the enemy. We lift those who are hurting to today and ask a healing of mind and spirit, in Jesus name, amen
