Good morning! How are we faithing? I watch so many people rejoice over things and at the same time others mourn those same things. What is so interesting is both sides of that event may profess the exact same faith in God. How can that happen? How can two people with the same faith see things opposite? One is right and one is wrong? Perhaps but maybe it's the information each one received and thus the conclusion one came to is based on that information, accurate or not. It is our very nature to come to conclusions and think we "got it" but it is dangerous to not question sources. I know this sounds odd for an encouraging letter but this really is for our own good. The Word of God is true but one verse can be pulled and used for not what it was intended. Politics is definitely the best example of this principle. Watch or read three different commentaries and you can get three different views. We must take the entire Word of God and not look for verses to justify our actions. We must learn from the Word and we all will find some things we have right and some we don't and there is no shame in admitting that. The shame comes when we think we know it all and there is no other vantage point than our own.
Isa 40:8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.
Heb 4:12
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Isa 55:10-11
For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Heavenly Father,
Help us see truth. Help us be humble enough to see truth and act. Lord forgive us our many sins. Grant us wisdom in all things so we are a help and not a hindrance to your grace. Guide us today, in Jesus name, amen
