Watch Out!
Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching our for yourselves so that you also won't be tempted. Galatians 6:1
Ever had a sour thought come into your head about someone else and have it take root. Do you know why it takes root? Because there is fertile soil. Huh? Yes you already have an unresolved issue with that person. Best to get that issue resolved or you will have another one to deal with.
I had this happen just today, well no it actually turned up last night and I thought about it for a while them gave it to The Lord and asked Him to show me what to do. Today I went to work and the person being accused turned up cheerful and happy. The enemy wanted to tear him down. After a struggle and a decision to be nice instead if nasty the issue went away.
My bible tells me to resist the devil and he will flee. Amen!
None of us are perfect and usually rhI don’t say that to scare you. I say it because I believe it is the hair-raising truth. No, we are not abandoned here as victims on this damaged sod. We are not abandoned at all. Our God is with us. The Spirit of His Son is in us. We are more than conquerors through the One who loves us. We are not at the mercy of Satan. We are at the glorious, life-breathing mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, a mercy that leads, as Jude 21 says, to eternal life and will ultimately spill like a river into a sea of reality where no sufferings of our past will compare with the glory of our present. In the meantime, greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world but make no mistake. This is a vicious world we’ve been left to serve. One God still loves or we would not still be here.
Usually the things that annoy us about others are in our own life. This helps me to be sober, most of the time.
