Sometimes I get frustrated at the world, God. It's comments like, "Well, just because you know the Bible doesn't mean you live it" or "they just hide under religion". I get frustrated when people, that live out their own life, without thought of consequences, continually blame the ones that are trying to do better. If you say you are not willing to put up with someone's behavior and go to walk away, all of a sudden you are deemed the one in the wrong.
Funny, as I'm typing out my frustrations into the light, you answer.
So I am brought to three scriptures:
1) Acts 5:39: But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourself fighting against God.
2) Matthew 10:28: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
3) John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Thank you for answering us God. Thank you for breaking our wills. Thank you for teaching us to trust you. Thank you for keeping our focus on you and not on others. Thank you also for pointing out that these issues are simply my own frustration and that you have it under control. Bringing darkness out into the light, although hard, can release it for you to work on it. Teach us to pray your will.
God, I also pray for those that are needing your healing, thank you for touching them and renewing their strength.
Holy Spirit have your way with us, in Jesus Name, Amen.
