Money should be your servant not your God…

Money should be your servant not your God…

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; and He saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them...Matthew 21:12-14.


Why did Jesus overthrow the money changers and those that bought and sold in the temple?

They were running a business on forgiveness…some people did not have access to the animals needed for the required sacrifices. These men would sell the needed provisions…the animals needed for forgiveness. The people were being extorted (squeezed) for money and forgiveness.


Jesus said…No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money...Matthew 6:24. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs...1 Timothy 6:9-10.


Prayer

Father we know forgiveness is now free in the love of Jesus your only Son who died on the cross and was raised from the dead…please help us see our errors of sin and grant us repentance so we may be saved and reconciled to You the Creator…please meet our soul’s deepest needs in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

But wisdom is justified of all her children...Luke 7:35.

But wisdom is justified of all her children...Luke 7:35.


And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him...Luke 2:40. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto Him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen...Romans 11:33-36.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:7. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cry after knowledge, and lift up thy voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God...Proverbs 2:2-5. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding...Proverbs 9:9-10. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD...Proverbs 21:30.


If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him...James 1:5.


Wisdom and understanding only come from the Lord who creates both and gives liberally to those who are faithful with them. How does a person become wise without the knowledge that God exists? How can a person understand the Holy with knowing there is a God who gives and understands the man or woman He has made and is calling on Him?


Prayer

Please give us sound wisdom and understanding so we may learn the knowledge needed to be saved and faithful in order to live with You forever…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Kindness...

 

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful...Luke 6:35-36.

 

Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love parades not itself, is not puffed up...1 Corinthians 13:4

 

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you...Ephesians 4:32.

 

Kindness is a language anyone can hear…see…and feel. Kindness is love…Kindness is forgiveness. Have you forgiven all those who done you wrong…yes or no? You find healing when you forgive. I found that saying a forgave them helps each time you remember the wrong done you because it puts it in the past instead of burying the hatchet and leaving the handle sticking out. So the next time you remember your brother or sister has done you wrong say to yourself I have forgave them.

 

Have you sought forgaveness from the ones you have offended…

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother hath ought (reason to accuse) against you; Leave there your gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift....Matthew 5:23-24

 

Christmas is nearly here and many will see other family members…would it not be a good time to seek forgiveness if you have done someone wrong then why not seek their forgiveness this Christmas?

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us because we have forgiven those who have done us wrong…and please remind us of any we need to seek forgiveness from…and meet our soul’s deepest needs…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
