Throwing stones

John 8:1-11 Mary Magdalene was surrounded by those who judged her for being a prostitute. They were planning on stoning her to death because of her sin. Jesus stepped in and stopped them by simply writing the stoners sins in the sand, simply saying,” those who are without sin cast the first stone. Not one was worthy of throwing that first stone, so all had walked away. Ecclesiastes 7:20 The Bible states that not one person is perfect, no, not one. Therefore not one of us can judge one another. The next time we point a finger at one another, we should remember this. We all have fallen short of God’s love and have no right to judge others. We have so much hate in this world, shouldn’t we be there to help rebuild? God, please help us not to judge today. Help us to love one another, inspire and encourage. Give us the strength to do better than the day before. In Jesus name amen.

God’s Banquet For His Servants

The Lord All-Powerful will prepare a feast on this mountain for all people. It will be a feast with all the best food and wine, the finest meat and wine. On this mountain God will destroy the veil that covers all nations, the veil that stretches over all people; he will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away every tear from every face. He will take away the shame of his people from the earth. The Lord has spoken. At that time people will say, ” Our God is doing this! We have waited for him, and he has come to save us. This is the Lord. We waited for him, so we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us.” Isaiah 25:6-9

God has a seat for all of us, choose to fill it!

Love

I was working on a project yesterday and ran into a small glitch. Someone who had worked on the home prier to me had messed up and needed to come back, so that I could get my work done. The man had returned and was not in a happy mood. He was rude and cussing, knowing that he had messed up. He was blaming it on everyone but himself, including me. After I showed him the problem and gave advice on how to fix it his attitude had changed. He was coming to me wondering what he should do and after I explained, he would go and do it. In the past I would have blown up and yelled at him and probably ended up in a fist fight. But over the years God has been humbling me when it comes to pride. I’m not the greatest and mess up at work from time to time. This guy had actually done a really nice job on this project, he just had a little hick up. After lending him my tools and knowledge, he was able to complete the task and we talked a while. I took his phone number and told him that he did a great job and if I needed help I would call him. That wasn’t the amazing part however. The rest of the day my job had worked out perfectly, everything lined up and looked beautiful. The homeowner showed up and was so excited, she also said that she felt bad for the set back with the other man and was going to compensate me for the day. She wasn’t taking”no” for an answer! God is good! People are going to have bad days just the same as you, just remember that all throughout the Bible, Jesus was kind and patient with everyone. WWJD. Heavenly Father thank you so much for yesterday thank you for the patience and love that you gave me and direction to be able to help that man. Help me to do the same today to where I can love everyone I come in contact with. In Jesus precious name amen.

Hold our tongue!

Dear kind Heavenly Father,

Forgive us for our sins with our words. Give us self-control over our tongue. Don’t let our words be like rotten tomatoes being thrown at other. Remind us to stop and think, ”What would Jesus do.” Jesus only said what you wanted him to say.

Thank you, Father, for your faithfulness and giving us your Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us. Amen 🙏

Words

We have a choice to speak words of encouragement, or words that destroy. We can build up, or tear down. I’m not sure about you but my mouth has spilled out some pretty harmful things over the years. God is great though, giving me ears to listen and the patience to pause before I speak. I’ve lost many friends from a lack of restraint on my part and I don’t want to lose anymore. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me the words to speak to others. Words that encourage and inspire the many friends that you have placed in my path. In Jesus mighty name, amen!
