Friday, September 28th, 2007 – No offence

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. We thank God for the bubbling sun here in Boston, Massachusetts – and hoping the weather is also as lovely wherever you are. One of the verses that I have liked for quite a while, is that in Psalm 119v165, which says:

“Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”

Hmm. Looking at it in line with Acts 24v16, where Paul was saying:

“And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.”

And Hebrews 12v14 which says:

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”

Hmm. Do you see a trend here? We should strive to be at peace with all, not getting offended (or stumbling). Psalm 119v165 gives some insight into how this can be achieved – love the law of the Lord.

Have a blessed day.

We pray also that Lord, You put a new song in our mouths, even of praise to You, that many will see and fear and trust in You. Daddy, let us increase in the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding in the mighty name of Jesus, that we might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit, in Jesus name we pray, amen.
