Eternal words, today’s news….

When I turn on the news to see what is happening in the world…I wonder if King David can see and reflect over his life and repeat these words from long ago,

 “Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;

protect my life from the threat of the enemy. 

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,

from the plots of evildoers. 

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.

Ps.64.1-3

There is a saying, “ what goes around , comes around “…we still need protection from our enemies, hiding from conspiracies…cruel  words are still spoken….

Wouldn’t it be better to…

 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

Ps.133.1

 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

John.17.20-23

 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Eph.4.1,Eph.4.3,Eph.4.13

 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. 

Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. 

And be thankful. 

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Col.3.12-17

 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Gal.5.19-25

Thank YOU….

By our love…
