Psalm 1:1-2
1Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
Dear Ones,
This scripture tells us blessed is the one who walks NOT in the counsel of the wicked... so lets see how that works in your life. When you are sharing life situations, and circumstance with someone, when that person starts to speaking ill of a person they do not know or barely know- do you walk away. Do realize that is not wise counsel? We must be careful Dear Ones-
1. we must be careful when we are speaking ill of people... that is not of God and He would not have us do that. IT does not matter who it is. Whether it be your boss, your mom, your coworker or a friend. The Word says we are to submit to our authority. We are to be kind and show the love of Christ to others.
2. We must be careful as someone is sharing things with us that we do not jump on the band wagon in bashing others. It is our duty as believers, as significant others or friends to encourage each other unto righteousness. If you are feeding the negativity and their thought process then you are NOT doing what God intended for you to do. We are always NO MATTER WHAT to encourage others unto righteousness and discourage the thoughts, and work of the enemy.
Enduring is part of our purification process in Christ. We are to endure.. life is not meant to be perfect. Happiness is a gift given by the Holy Spirit and joy is unto the Lord so truly dear ones as you face life- it is intended to be a challenge to purify you and bring you closer to the cross. It is intended to make you rely less on yourself, your own understanding and your own thoughts and more ON CHRIST and he uses your situation in your life and people in your life in that process...
So ask yourself today- as I face situations, as I seek counsel from others- am I facing them as Christ would have me? or the enemy? because truly if we are not doing it Christ's way we are doing it the enemy's way!
Lord Jesus convict our hearts today to change how we respond to others and counsel them. Lord help us to counsel them unto righteousness inspite of how we feel or think! Lord help us to lay ourselves down for you!
In Jesus Name- Amen
Solo para la gloria de Dios Angie
