Long week
I’ve been praying and thinking a lot as far as the blog for this week. It has been a long week for me. Then June 24th happened. I try hard not to be political in this blog. But It was a win for the lives of the unborn. Then I made the mistake of getting on social media. My heart hurts because of the things I’ve seen said by both Christians and non believers. I’m not going to get in the middle of it all. I’ve had people leave the email portion of this blog just about every time I speak on climate change nonsense. But it literally feels like the gates of hell have opened up and reared it’s ugly head this week. I haven’t quite known what to say blog wise because normally this is about hope. This week I think I have just a few verses to share and they are more about how all of us should be communicating. So whether you’re just visiting the blog as a video or reading it as an email I’m going to get right to the matter at hand. I know there’s so many sides and opinions floating around right now but here’s something we all need to remember. When you’re trying to get across your point of view.
Ephesians 4:29
“Do not use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.”
I’ve seen the saying “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you can’t see.” I know we all want our point to get across whether we are right or not but there’s no need to say anything foul or abusive.
Same chapter here are two more verses we need.
Ephesians 4:31-32
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tender hearted forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
We all need to be better.
I want to conclude with two verses that have helped me adjust my focus.
Psalm 84:11-12
“For the Lord God is our Sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. O Lord of Heaven’s armies, what joy for those who trust in you.”
