This is going to be a different post. I have no witty words to offer you this morning...only a request. We need to pray for our church...His church...His body...His bride. We need Him right now.
Father,
Your church needs your help. We are attacking each other and it is dividing and weakening your body. Speak wisdom to us, Lord. You have promised your Holy Spirit to be our counselor...Lord, we need your counsel. Help us, Lord, to refocus our eyes on You, so that we might hear your voice more clearly, be obedient to all your desires and love you above all. Please, Lord, come to our rescue!
Thank you, Father, for always hearing the prayers of your children. We love you, though sometimes feebly, graspingly, distractedly; we want to love you more.
"Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be all over the earth. Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered." Psalm 108:5-6
Love you, my friends, more than words can say...have a blessed day,
Cherri

Hmmmm...posted something, or thought I did. Anyway, I'll repeat -- good prayer, Cherri.
ReplyDeleteA conversation within the body could have been productive, but airing our differences in the public square is so counterproductive. For me, hindsight is 20-20 in this case.
Isn't it like the enemy to create a situation and then turn us on each other? Crafty. Gratefully, our God is greater. What the enemy intended for evil, nay God use for good.
Love you and your sweet spirit,

So true, Diane! The enemy surely had a field day with us all. Lots of misunderstanding and assumptions going on with emotionally charged words flying around like crazy. But just like you say...Our God is greater, and He redeems anything.
