Stinging Support

Gallery Leave a comment

Well, my Friends, I got some stinging support this morning. Initially, I thought I might withhold the publication name that I was reading because I did not want to give the name as I intended to somewhat disagree.

The statement with which I disagreed? This: “Sometimes the desires they reveal have no moral or spiritual consequences – our taste in food or clothes, for example.”

However, I am certain the unnamed writer was not speaking of gluttony or immodesty as having no moral or spiritual consequences or revelations about our choices and desires when food and clothes were given as examples.

Too much food and too little clothes most certainly reveal something spiritual about us.

Too much food tells me that I am trying to satisfy a legitimate need in an unholy way; too little clothing (or too clingy or too tight) tells me I am trying to satisfy a legitimate need in an unholy way.  But this is not the main purpose of this post.

By the time I reached the end of the prescribed reading for today, I was convinced it was one of the most bell ringing Journey devotionals that I have read in a while. In fact it is so right on that I want to share it with you. I have inserted it here as a PDF. (click Journey 1 17 14 below. If you are reading this in your email, you may have to click the title of this post at the top of your email message and come to the website to access the PDF.) It spoke to me. As I said stinging support. It bites but it also gives me strength to make better choices for JESUS sake; and that will benefit you and me. :)

By the way, those underlines in the PDF – those are my stings, might not be yours. :)
Love and thanks to you, my Friends, on this 20th day of 2014.

2 When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom. via Proverbs 11 HCSB;CJB – Dishonest scales are detestable to the – Bible Gateway.

My first Scripture of this day.

When pride comes, disgrace follows.

When I give heed to pride; when I think in pride I am sure to act in pride and when I act in pride, disgrace is sure to follow. Dishonor, even. Dishonor to the Name of JESUS and dishonor to the Body of Christ – to the name of Christian. That is the last thing this society needs. We don’t need to give this world any more ‘ammunition’ to hurl at us; they have plenty.

Disgrace is beneath us, my Friends. Let us shun it with all the strength we have; we can only accomplish this in humility – humble living. Humility is not putting ourselves down, it’s lifting JESUS up.   And it’s the WISE thing to do!

Here’s a link for Proverbs 11 if you would like to read it in its entirety.

Wise living on this 17th day of 2014,

19 Pilate then took Yeshua and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted thorn-branches into a crown and placed it on his head, put a purple robe on him, 3 and went up to him, saying over and over, “Hail, ‘king of the Jews’!” and hitting him in the face.

And what would have been your response and my response if this were the treatment we received?

That’s why we need a Savior!

May we choose A Gratitude Day!, my Friends, on this 16th day of 2014!!
