I think logic has flown the coop.
Before I begin with a few scriptures for today....and my comments, I have a few other things in my head that I need to get out so they will stop bugging me.
First....how hard is it really, to know the difference between FACEBOOK and a BLOG? I mean, if you're going to spread something at least get the terminology correct. Just sayin'.
Second.....There's some sick, twisted people out there. Watch out for them. They accuse you FALSELY of doing something (like using someone they love for your own personal agenda), then they turn around and do the same thing (use the person they love for their own personal agenda). Told ya there's some twisters out there.
Thirdly.....Lemme ask a question. If you disliked someone strongly, wouldn't you want NOTHING to do with that person....not have any dealings WHATSOEVER with that person? Most of you would say emphatically YES!!! Soooo......if you are reading the blog of someone you dislike, aren't you just DIGGING FOR DIRT??!!! Just looking for something to twist and lie about? Just askin'.
Finally......the scriptures. As usual, my thoughts will be in blue.
People today are eat up with anger, strife, bitterness, lying, and hatred. I hope those of you who are reading this, and are experiencing any of the above, will take these verses of scripture to heart. As my daddy has said in his sermons, you need to check your dipstick.....you might be a quart low on love.
My feelings at the moment (to take the words from a song): God's been good to me. I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams........even through the hard times.....I wouldn't change them if I could because through it all.....GOD'S BEEN GOOD!!!
I just wish the people, whose religion seems to be in vain, could feel that in their lives. But I claim the Word of God in (and ON) my life, and I know that persecution just comes with the territory.
I can be a martyr if you want.....not a problem.
Psalms 34:13 ~ Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Uumm...I think that verse speaks for itself. It's in the Bible folks. Personally, and I could be wrong, but wouldn't you think LYING would be considered evil. And I looked up the word guile in the dictionary. It means: crafty or artful deception.......in other words....lying in a dramatic, showy way. DRAMA!!
Proverbs 12:22 ~ Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are His delight. It's comforting to know that God delights in honesty. In today's world, lies roll off the tongue like spit flying during a concert. No wonder the world.....and religious societies....are in the shape they're in.
Proverbs 26:20 ~ Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. Hhmm.....another verse on lying. You think God is trying to tell us something? Liars just want to keep strife stirred up. There's also another verse about that. Find a place with NO LIARS, and you've got a peaceful place indeed!
(My personal favorite) Matthew 5:11 ~ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you [falsely], for my sake. I AM TRULY BLESSED!! To all those helping God bless me.....thanks. I need all the blessings from God I can get right now. I can take what people dish out. It really doesn't bother me. I'll just write about lessons learned and move on. It's a good way to keep records.....that way when someone wants to pull a lie out of their butt....I have my side of the story.
James 1:26 ~ If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Take SERIOUS note here. If you're claiming Christiandom, and you can't keep that tongue from wagging, your claims of Christianity are futile....without real significance.....to no avail, etc. They fall on deaf ears to God. That's pretty powerful stuff. People, let me remind you of something.....HELL IS REAL!! Please stop acting like its not. Just read Rev. 21:8 if you don't believe me as to where liars, and the like, end up.
Proverbs 15:18 ~ A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. Nuf said!!
Psalms 37:1 ~ Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. I will not fret! I will not fret! I will not fret! Gee.....I sound like the Little Engine that Could...lol
Psalms 118:6 ~ The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Now that's VERY comforting.....especially right now. God's on MY side, and your side, IF you're not in the following category......liars, evildoers, talebearers, strife-stirrer-uppers (my word...you like it?), drunkards (added that one so the others wouldn't feel bad), etc. We DO NOT have to fear ANYTHING man may throw at us. Soooo, I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to fear!!!!
2Thess 1:6 ~ Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you. Run across this verse yesterday during devotion time. Read this scripture hundreds of times, but I never caught it....until yesterday. Isn't God AMAZING?! Some people are gonna get it....from God. It is a righteous (or moral) thing for God to repay 'the troubler in your life' with severe trials and sufferings. LOOK OUT!! God's gonna getcha if you're stirring up trouble or LYING about one of His children.
Jer 18:23 ~ Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger. I could SO pray that prayer....but I'm not. I'd rather God just get a good laugh.....because He sees what their future holds. Check out Psa 37:12-13 and Proverbs 1:26-28a for evidence that God laughs at fool-hearted people who do wrong.
(Last, but not least) If you are feeling the need, right now, to repent of your sins....here's a verse just for you. 1John 1:9 ~ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!!! God is on my side!
Hope all who read have a wonderful and blessed day.
Love you guys!!
