We have been doing a new sermon series at church that is titled Making Space. We are also coordinating this with our small groups. We are given scriptures during the week to read, and as I was reading one of them yesterday for the 3rd time, I continued reading and did not stop at the end of the scripture that they had assigned.
I like how God speaks to me through his word. This is what I read.....
There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.
Do not pay attention to every word people say,
or you may hear your servant cursing you-
for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
Ecclesiastes 7:20-22
This passage goes along with what I was posting the other day about the man that I encountered at Wal-Mart.
God reassured me that I am to continue praying for him, and that I need not take what people say so personally. (as I normally always do).
So if you are following this blog, I pray that you also read these scriptures and take them to heart, we never know what someone's intentions are behind what they say.
Always remember that we ourselves have judged others without knowing them, and anything past what we physically can see.
Until tomorrow..

I just did a post on my blog about your post on the guy at Walmart. I think you are amazing! It's good to "meet" you through the bloggy world. :)
ReplyDeleteI heard of your blog through Sara Domino's and have been a faithful reader. After reading what happened at Wal-Mart, I shared it with my husband and he said, "Tell her that we'll pray for him, then we'll go let the air out of his tires!" Thank you for being so honest and transparent in your postings. Leslie W.
