Harmonious

Proverbs 10: 31 (Amp)
The mouths of the righteous (those harmonious with God) bring forth skillful and godly Wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut down [like a barren and rotten tree].

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Regardless of how you spent your time, with Easter egg hunts, family bbq's or watching the Masters, I hope you found time to reflect on the sacrifice made for you. I hope you found time to celebrate in the Resurrection of our Lord.

Verse 31 is a good one for today. I could point out to you the power and words, yet again. But, I want to focus on something else. Something you may have overlooked. The promise in this verse.

Matthew 3:10"The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Have you ever been in the midst of gossip, of lies and deceit from someone close to you or maybe not so close? Do you wonder, Why Me? Do you ask God what you did to deserve the cruelty? It can be very difficult to see the light through the tunnel of gossip and perverted words.

Forgiveness and Redemption are promised to us, but so is judgement and accountability. What you do not see today, may be seen in the everlasting. While we are in the midst of our struggles and fighting the injustices of this place, hold close the promises of being adopted into God's family. It is easy to get lost in the here and the now. Maybe, next time (and there will be a next time), someones words tear at your life and pride you can find a glimpse of hope. Being in harmony with God isn't painless but it does promise you justice.

1 John 4:4-6 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them;because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Heavenly Father~Thank you for this day. Thank you for the sacrifice. Thank you for the power that overcomes death. Continue to work in my life Lord. I desire a life focused on the promises of your word and not on the words of this world. Give me the power to discern those that are speaking in your wisdom and those that defile. ~In Your Precious Name.
