God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus for 19 May 2012"

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 later develops: 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 ones tongue, and trying to understand the others person's position, and leaving vindication to God demonstrates godly love in tense situations.  Trials require silence and patience because talk inflames anger, and anger inflames talk.  Anger also distracts from listening to God.

Today's Biblical Truth: This is from a Church sign which is a great message for Today's Scripture: "ANGER is just one letter short of DANGER."

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 clearly, and help us to be slow to speak with anger and even more slower to seek revenge.  Help us to demonstrate with our words and our actions, the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit within us.     Amen

Have a God filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today.  Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus.  Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and also for his lawyer who was sentence to 9 years in prison for defending him in the Iranian Court.  Pray for God's Peace on the city of Jerusalem and His Blessings on the Nation of Israel.

Jesus Reigns!!!  May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.

Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
