God's Words of Wisdom for Saturday 7 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: James 1:19,20  "So then my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God."

Verse 19 is a key verse because it expresses three topics that James develops later: hearing, speaking and wrath.  These three elements reveal the outline of the Book of James.

If a believer gets angry in difficult situations and circumstances, the practical righteousness of God will not be evident in his or her life.  When someone wrongs us, the natural reaction is to get even at least verbally.  But this response does not glorify God.  Holding one's tongue, and trying to understand the other person's position, and leaving vindication to God demonstrates godly love in tense situations.

Today's Hymn: "How Great Thou Art" (verse 1)

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy hands has made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou Art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  Help us Lord in dealing with anger toward those who do us wrong.  Fine tune our listening Lord that we might listen and be able to see the situation and help us to be slow to speak back with anger and even more slower to seek revenge.  Help us to demonstrate with our words and our actions, You in us.
                                                                                                                      Amen
Today's Biblical Truth:  From a Church sign which is a great message for today's verses "ANGER is just one letter short of DANGER"  (Wow)

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you tell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Yours in Christ,
Cindi
