JAH’S LOVINGKINDNESS

For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.-Psalm 30:5 (ESV)

Apart from the hurts caused by others, we are often the victims of our (own) wrong choices and sins against God. Thankfully, our merciful Father does not chastise us for destruction. Regardless of the depth of the darkness we experience, May Yahweh make our light even greater.

WALK AWAY

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.-John 17:12

Despite human flaws, many people are still sensitive and have the conscience to know when they have erred, so make the effort toward correction. However, some would remain obstinate even in the face of clear evidence of wrongdoing. Regardless of our emotional attachment toward such, we would save ourselves permanent heartache by letting them go.

BE ALERT

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. -Colossians 2:8 (ESV)

The gates of hell can never derail the Church of the Living God, period! Notwithstanding, we need to be wary of the overt infiltration of occultism into the Church – from Western-styled prosperity and psychedelic motivational messages to influences of African traditional spirituality, from Eastern mystic philosophies to Ancient Near-Eastern idolatry. Let’s guard our hearts by sticking only to “Christ and Him crucified!”

IRONIES OF LIFE

You fool! Every time you plant seed you sow something that does not come to life [germinating, springing up and growing] unless it first dies.- 1Corinthians 15:36 (AMP)

It is refreshing to note that our struggles, troubles, or challenges in life have a silver lining; they often have the potential to provide us with more excellent opportunities. May Jah turn our water into wine, deserts into oases, and stress into rest in the mighty name of Jesus!
