It's pretty incredible how that Pharisee thing still thrives
in the lives of Christians.. more times than not when ppl can't deal with the
truth, they resort to discrediting those who speak it. It's kinda human nature
to do it, we have all been guilty of it to some degree whether we realize it or
not, whether we admit it or not..
The key to correct/prevent such error and sin is to guard
yourself by measuring your motives to the Word of God and in prayer as you
invite the Holy Spirit to keep you from lying to yourself about it.
The hard part is standing your ground in matters of Truth,
when someone else is tripping over that stumbling block of arrogance or selfish
ambition.. Either way, can be a challenge, whether seeing the arrogance and
failure within ourselves or being attacked by others in our life who can't deal with Truth.. In both cases.. love must be our
guide.. whether in times of peace or in times of war.. the focus is getting
everyone involved to that place of peace with God and Man.
Sadly, not everyone wants to go there.. or is ready to go
there.. and great patience is required.. sometimes discipline.. and sometimes
shaking the dust off your shoes of peace.. and letting them go with God to work
out their own salvation. There is a savior and we're not him..
But if God, in his great mercy and wisdom, chooses to reach
thru us to manifest himself in the lives of others.. we better be ready to
humble ourselves and set aside any plans (or understanding or assumptions) we may have had in the matter.. The plan of
God in every life is first and foremost.. and the only way to walk that out is
to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit every moment and in every breath we
take. Because he doesn’t use a cookie cutter in our lives.. people are
different from one another in many ways.. and we can’t judge the path others
are to walk because we do not have the mind of God.
We are sheep and can only follow his leading,
We are children and can only look to the Father to teach us,
We are the Bride, the weaker vessel, and must submit
ourselves to the Bridegroom
trusting his great love for us and that he works all not
just for our good..
but for the good of all who call upon his name <3
