Good morning! How are we faithing? We have to be wise as we set out to make disciples of Jesus. We must be willing to go the extra mile and beyond. We must live what we speak. We must shun sin in our lives. We must examine ourselves instead of noticing others. I know we see stuff go down every day and it's hard not to shake our heads and say "idiot". Be careful. They may in fact be an idiot but do they know Jesus? Do I want to say or do something that drives a lost soul deeper into hell? Do I want to beat them down some more? Of course not! We are ambassadors of Christ. We must learn to watch, listen and be silent until all the facts are in. Oh I know sometimes immediate action is necessary but be careful you are acting and not reacting. Be ready to protect the innocent but be slow when you are being berated so as to not bring in more strife. It serves no purpose to give back what you get when one is being served bad things. What did our savior say? Love your enemies. Pray for them. Treat them how you want to be treated. Work on these things in your life. Be ready to forgive. Be quick to pray. Be that one consistent person who never spoons out garbage because perhaps by your example another soul will escape hell. ponder that today...
Mat 6:14-15
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Eph 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Rom 12:20-21
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Heavenly Father,
thank you for this salvation that saves a wretch like me. Help us become the disciples you deserve. Help us see to the heart and be willing to take a whipping in your name. Help us to remember to do what is right no matter what. Lord we lift our leaders to you. We pray for wisdom for them and us. Oh Lord some are weary and need a touch today. We praise and honor you in Jesus name, amen
