Life is so fragile. Why on earth would anyone spend their time seeking revenge and practicing deceit? Friday, while running errands, I caught little bits and pieces of Chuck Swindoll, David Jeremiah, and James McDonald on the radio.
Here is the summary:
1) God will not allow HIS Glory to go to another
2) Honor your mother and father so it will go well with you. If you do not—it will not go well.
3) There is a sin that leads to death. There will come a time when God says—enough is enough. Step aside—and He forcibly removes those who insist on continuing their actions.
I have no idea how God is going to end this lawsuit. What I do KNOW is He has promised us His protection and He very clearly told us many years ago to step aside. And we have. It's the weirdest thing. I try to pray for my sister and brother-in-law and no words come. I don't think we are even to do that anymore. God knows the cry of our heart. He knows our desire to see them change their hearts and lives. He knows. He cares. He doesn't need our help. So, for months now I have had no knowledge of them whatsoever, and I believe that is how God wants it.
With all the hurt, dying, sick, and lost people around us, how can even one second be spent on deceit and revenge? Luke 21:34–36 - "Be careful not to spend your time feasting, drinking, or worrying about worldly things. If you do, that day might come on you suddenly... so be ready all the time." God is in control.
Next Entry: Luke 23:1–56
