Today’s Thought “Kings of Rebellion” G. Ward

“I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.” Psalm 34:1

So much energy is expelled from anyone seeking self preservation while exposed to perceived evil. While conjuring efforts from one violated determines to get another told (formulating great argument), we’ll rarely view one without reply (cf. Mk. 15:1-5). Could any be wrong concerning the intent of the violator?

A better objective to adopt is prayer (Mt 5:43-45), then commitment unto righteousness. Condescending prayers that pity, or render others as hopeless aren’t permissible (cf. 1 Cor. 6:9-11, 2 Pe.3:9). Furthermore, our forgiveness in matters of violation has been entirely un-scriptural. We have more perceived a worldly ideology perpetuating an ability to forgive to never restore another to an original status (* Mt. 18:21-22). If the contingency for our acceptance (in the heavenly realm) is how we receive others, will we make it?

Happy Tuesday!
