Hello my friends,
Here is todays Sunday Sermon. Praise God we have him in our life.Have a blessed day. Kathy
Lets make positive declarations over our lives.
With our tongue we can bless our lives
Or with your tongue you can curse your lives,
Speak Only faithful things with your tongue.
Psalms 139:1-142:7; Acts 17:16-34
Thought from Today’s Old Testament Passage:
Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again [Ps. 140:8–10].
The psalmist is praying against that wicked man, the Antichrist. As I have said before, this is not the kind of prayer a believer should pray. Rather, we should follow the instruction in Romans 12:19–21, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." In other words, don’t let yourself become bitter. Don’t get carried away with enmity and revenge, which will separate you from a walk of faith. God will take care of things. It has been my experience that when we keep our hands off, God will generally move in and deal with those who attempt to thwart and hinder God’s work. Vengeance belongs to God. Turn the case over to Him. Then you can do something good for the individual who has injured you. God puts us in an unusual place.
