Abba, thank You for another morning; a day we get to greet with You, to listen and discern that You love us and nothing comes our way today without Your power to overcome. Or on the lighter side to enjoy and find holy fun in family, friends and Your creation. Thank You that not one of our sufferings goes unnoticed; not one of our anxious moments is taken lightly and sluffed off by You as frivolous and beneath Your watch-care. Thank You Holy Spirit for administering within us all we need to succeed today for Your glory. You know better than we the sins and consequences of the people of this world, we ask for Your mercy and the gifts of repentance to be lavished on us in JESUS name. So be it, for now, ~ ~ ~
I saw a tweet. I saw a post. And to me both were inflammatory; yet, I think they were not meant to be. We the People are inflamed and we need no more fuel for the fire. Racism. It sells. It promotes. It hurts. It kills. And it is totally curable.
Abba, I pray for every person of every color and shade in this Country that is contributing to racism that You will confront them, convict them, and convince them to repent of this sin. It seems to me, and You know I want You to correct me every time I am wrong about anything, that racism has been with us too long. And it seems to me that what we humans have been doing is obviously not working to cool the flame. I see nothing on the human horizon that will douse the red hot tempers we witness nearly daily on media screens. But I have seen Your Ways and they work. Every time. You deliver people from racism. I have seen You do it. And it is so good! I want to see more. So I am asking You to make a way; open doors for us to do this thing Your way. This I know, Abba, You are the only way to heal a soul and cure them of racism and that is what I am asking You to do; one by one get all up in our mess, our business, our families, and our friends and heal us I pray in JESUS’ Holy and Mighty Name.
I went to look for a Passage. I found it. My prompting was people, and their pain and sorrow and troubles and anguish and poverty. It’s rampant. Have you noticed?
I found more than one Scripture addressing destruction but the reason is largely the same.
Hosea 4: (KJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, . . . source
All our sorrows in this world in one way or another are due to lack of knowledge or the rejection of the knowledge given – perhaps not our own lack or rejection, but somebody’s and in turn it has affected (or perhaps infected) us.
So now what?
And you might say, well, Kathie, that’s not very encouraging. You are right it’s not. But it’s the truth. And what each of us does with the truth we know or refuse to know affects, effects and infects others. So, again, I ask.
Now what?
James 1: (AMP) 5 If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. source
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
