Dealing With You
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
Today’s Morsel: One of the toughest people you will find to deal with is yourself. For some unknown reason, we find it much easier to help others make corrections in their life than ourselves. We see our wrong, know our wrong, but it’s easier to go on our way and hope that our life will correct itself. Are you aware that David’s son, Absalom, waited two whole years before he killed his brother Amnon? He held bitterness in his heart for Amnon for what he did to his sister Tamar for two years prior to killing him. During those two years, we read nothing where he dealt with his anger and hatred. By all accounts, he allowed it to fester and take root in his life. And when his anger and hatred began to grow, he concocted a plan to kill him. We must not allow bitterness, anger, envy, hate, nor any other wrong toward others to get a foothold and grow in our lives. We must be ready to deal with all disobedience, anger, hatred, and sin in our lives once our obedience in Jesus is fulfilled.
Sing: Change my heart, O’ God, make it ever true; change my heart, O’ God, may I be like You.
You are the Potter, I am the clay; mold me and make me, this is what I pray.
Change my heart, O’ God, make it ever true; change my heart, O’ God, may I be like You.
