day 32: Micah 7:5-7; Proverbs 30:11-12; 16:25;16:2,6  Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the door of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.  Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.  There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.  There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

When we say were Christians, and choose not to understand  the cornerstone that started it all, we then find ourselves following false prophets, false teachers, the thing which the Lord warned us of.  It is written in the book of 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  For many deceivers are entered into the world, how will you stand if you don't know the power within us all?

If we open our hearts to understand that all have fallen short, and not allow peace and patience to reign we will continue to fight against those that are closest to us driving wedges where they should not be.  God teaches us to honor thy father and mother, do we?  God is Love. do we?  Lets be an example to all in how to love, not in hate.

When do we give love a fighting chance to breathe? Remember always to love thy neighbor as thy self, and to be mindful of what hurt us will hurt others unawares.  Forgiveness changes people for the better, especially when its daily.

Beloved, if God so loved us we ought also to love one another ( 1 John 4:11).  It all starts with the one in the mirror.


A treasure worth finding.

Amen.
