| "None Taken" |

This past Wednesday night at bible study I was set free...Again!
I had gone with worry in my heart and knew I needed to really get into the word and be with fellow Christians who would surely understand.
I went with expectations of God to show me how to deal with this problem I had taken on of... "setting someone straight."
Boldly I wanted to put them back on the right path and let them know what they were doing wrong and how it was offending me personally. I would find somebody to talk with afterwords to help me find the just right thing to say.
WOW! Ain't God good?
That night the lesson was about "worry" and "taking offence" and how these were both sinful nature. Now who needed to be set straight?
I learned that all through out god's word we are instructed not to walk in the flesh...and I confess now that even though I didn't think so at the time I was being pretty "fleshy".
No matter what the flesh feels, we are to put on our Godly armor , including the breast plate and not let other peoples wrong choice of words and actions offend us but to behave as loving creatures of God and He will do the hard part.
I didn't need to say anything at all...I didn't need to look up any scriptures and figure out how I was to fit them into any lecture I thought this person needed.
This guy is a Christian and already knows God personally. That's between them...It is not my place to say what I think God wants him to hear.
I don't need to be doing God's job...I can't. I will fail trying!
My job that He gave me to be a good example is hard enough.
So...I've been set free from the imagination of having to verbally challenge anybody!
Praise God...I was saved just in time...Again!
If ever I start to feel offended again, even if it was not intentional...even if they did and say Sorry...No offence...In my spirit I will tell my flesh..."None Taken"
Amen? Amen!
4:21 And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also. |
