A friend told me about a contentious church meeting. The battle was pretty much a repeat of previous meetings, with two factions each accusing the other of ungodly behavior. After everyone was sliced, diced and miserable, the meeting adjourned.
This is the visual image I got from God:
Satan pushed his chair back from the table with a satisfied smile, just like folks do after a sumptuous meal. “Well! Another great meeting.”
Many victims, just one enemy.
I SEE THIS HAPPENING IN MY FAMILY…AS CHRISTIANS WE NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT FORGIVENESS..
I HEARD SOMETHING OVER 20 YEARS AGO…
“WHEN FINALLY YOU LEARNED HUMILITY. AND FINALLY ARE SURE YOU ARE A HUMBLE PERSON”……YOU’RE NOT”
Ah yes, Linda, the enemy goes after families too.
Lord God, may the spirit of forgiveness overtake the enemy’s disruption of Linda’s family. Amen.
TODAY WE BELIEVE GOD WANTS US TO KNOW THAT …
SHARED JOY IS A DOUBLE JOY; SHARED SORROW IS HALF A SORROW.
