I was sitting on the couch this morning and I see a spider on the floor. I get up and step on it to kill it. Spiders are God’s creatures. The house I sit in He provided the way and means for me to have through my husband that He gave me to love. Out of fear I stepped on His spider when I could have tried to scoop it up and put it outside but I don’t recognize those spiders who bite and are dangerous and can cause great pain like the brown recluse. So all spiders to me I want to remain outside or I kill them if they stray inside. Now there are good spiders they truly serve God’s purpose without questioning Him. As humans we can also do this to those that we do not like the way they think, the way they look, the way they act. We decide they are bad according to what those around us say without proof or watching to see the fruit that they bear. If we had not been told to hate this people, or that people, or this domination or that domination, or this party or that party we would have to look for the facts, to look for the fruit that is on the tree. Do you simply believe what you are told or do you search for the truth? I can study spiders and learn which ones are dangerous to humans. I can search the laws of the United States where I live and other countries in case I want to go there. We have to have access to be able to follow them. They are available to all. I have to study God’s word for myself or I can be lead away by every wind and doctrine. Do you want to do the work or be lead by your emotions or feelings?
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it.
Only God! Love God, if you love Me keep My commands. Love your neighbor as yourself. The Samaritan did not ask what nationality the hurt man was. He picked him up and at his own expense took care of him.
Revelation 7:9-10 After these things I looked, and behold a multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands crying out with a loud voice saying salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.
Do you really know the facts? Are you listening to opinion? Do you share what you do not know to be true?
Proverbs 10:18 Whoever hides hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
God’s church is an inclusive church. He came to seek and to save those who are lost.
Lord, We thank You for Your word. Please in Jesus name give us a hunger and a thirst to know and divide Your word rightly. Lead us away from temptation and deliver us from hate and anger for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. You alone know all things, Lord help us to trust You more and love our neighbors as you have commanded. Amen
Job 42: I know that You can do every thing and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
