Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
Well, America, we are in a stressful situation at this time if we want it to be. Everything that is going on takes us away from what is important - STUDYING THE BIBLE; KNOWING THE WORD!!
The DNC & RNC having their 'virtual' conventions; the "peaceful" protests that are not peaceful; the defunding of Police; and politicians who don't and will not stand up for what is right. All sides, Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Independents, -----no one---- going forth with the strong WORD OF GOD!!
Shame on all of us, and in saying this I am pointing all fingers in my direction. Have I been in the word? NO! And I am ashamed. Pastor preached Sunday about doing what is right with God; quit "faking it to make it" attitude; be honest with God, bend your knee ONLY to pray and stand proudly that you live in One Nation UNDER GOD!
Proverbs does well in teaching us about our folly. How foolish we become over politics, sports, money, life styles, material things like cars, clothes, boats, homes, and on and on.
We need to stand in honor, in honor that we are children of the living GOD. Look at Proverbs 26: 1 Honor is no more associated with fools than snow with summer or rain with harvest.
Think about this verse for a moment. Honor to fools- like snow with summer. We know it does not snow in the summer, that is stupid or foolish to think so. Yes, that is how honor is to fools.
And, rain with harvest - we do not want rain at harvest time because the crop may ruin before we can get in to harvest. Honor is to the fool as much as we want rain with the harvest - not a good thing.
Proverbs 26: 2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.
What is being said here? An undeserved curse - one that is not justified, one that should not happen. What about it? It may be thrown at a particular person BUT--- will not land on the person it planned to victimize. If you have ever seen a sparrow or swallow, they dart here, there, and yonder, without hindrance.
This means that an "undeserved" curse will have no effect. We need to remember this as we stay close to the word and closer to GOD. The "curse" we view around us will have no effect. Live in the word my friend, be real, don't play Christian - be a Christian. How? By loving God with all your heart, mind, and soul - and loving your neighbors.
Tomorrow, more about the fool. My prayer is that not one of us become the fool, but let God's wisdom show through us to bring glory to HIM! Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
