Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow Sow

Sow. Reap what you sow.

Pastor Matt took a little hiatus from the John messages he's been going through on Sunday mornings. This week we turned to Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."

Sow. Do good. Persevere.

I have been growing weary and lazy. I have been letting my situations rule my thoughts instead of Him who carries me. I have grown weary of not knowing whether or not my girls will be taken from me. I have grown weary of loving the people I don't want to love. I have grown weary of sweeping up cigarette butts that are littered on my sidewalk. I have grown weary of having foul and disgusting language fill my living room, I have grown weary of watching the godlessness of W. Elm street fill my days.

I have grown weary of myself and how easily I get discouraged. I am weary of my selfishness and just plain stupidness.

But the mini message before the message was on Psalm 20. Trusting in Him. Trusting in God-not in chariots and horses or whatever else we rely on in our lives.

I've been trusting in the future and hope that it will be "better" and in doing so, neglecting the present and where God has us now.

Admittedly I've spent some time (a week or so) having my feathers ruffled and holding some sort of useless grudge against God. In my small feeble mind I thought we should have had Black Rock Road (and my heart hurts even thinking about it) but I have to just stop it, and rest in the knowledge that He wants what's best for us...and for now, it is W Elm Street.


Sow and trust. Sow and trust. Sow and trust.

Good old heretic

So recently I've been speaking out about Joyce Meyer. She is a blaspheming heretic and I'm so sick of people who should know better, listening to her.

While on someone's fb page I brought to light several issues about Joyce Meyer and was completely shot down. This person insisted she preaches the truth and basically how dare I say such things about a woman of God.

This kind of stuff scares me because it is truly evil.
Later on this person messages me and "asks" me to take her off my newsfeed so I won't be offended, goes on to say on her fb page that conversations aren't productive or something and then blocks me from being able to comment on her page.

SO, yes, this is hurtful. We absolutely ARE supposed to call out false teachers. We absolutely ARE supposed to look out for others.

I know I did the right thing. I will always stand for truth, but why does it hurt so much? And if this is my form of persecution, then so be it. I will gladly take any fb blocks or un-friending.

The truth offends. Look at how hostile people got towards Jesus. This is much less severe and I rest assured that in standing for Him, He'll stand for me.

Lord, give me more of Your work to do.

Tragedy

Tragedy-this week has been full of it.

A false allegation destroys. Lies ruin.

If this will mold me and serve to purify and conform me to Him, so be it.

If it was easy I'd probably be doing it on my own strength, but I must rely on Him. He alone can carry me through this. He alone has the strength to bring me through.

I trust in His protection, in His Love, in His patience, faithfulness and goodness.
