The thief

“A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!”John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Satan wants to destroy people, we are inadvertently tools of destruction when we speak ill of others.

I am currently reading Romans and yesterday was arrested by the scripture: 
 “For God in heaven unveils his holy anger breaking forth against every form of sin, both toward ungodliness that lives in hearts and evil actions. For the wickedness of humanity deliberately smothers the truth and keeps people from acknowledging the truth about God.”Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬ ‭TPT‬‬

My study Bible uses the word’unrighteousness’ instead of wickedness. When we read this verse we can assume that it talks about people outside of the church. However, if we speak God’s word or ways coloured by our own sin we are suppressing the truth by our own wickrdnesd or unrighteousness.

We all love to talk, and our talk is coloured by our own opinions and views. May godly righteousness direct us. Amen!
