Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down, kick ‘em when they’re stiff, kick ‘em all around…

James 5:16 says confess faults to one another but what does that mean exactly and how far should we take it?

We bring the sacrifice of praise into the  house of the Lord…if you are like me, this song might as well been up there with The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow…both heard to ad nauseum and both equally annoying. But when I realized praise is not about my feelings or circumstances its about Him, it changes things. Perhaps Job said it best in 42:5 AMPC “I had heard of You [only] by the hearing of the ear, but now my [spiritual] eye sees You.”

Comforting words mean the world to us, especially when we need to hear them. But, what if God doesn’t offer comforting words  but a soul searching question.  “Am I Still Your God?”

While life can kick the breath out us and those we thought we could depend on prove otherwise, God always provides.

I heard  an interview with Kathy Troccoli where she said God writes our story, we just gotta catch up to it. 

The catching up to it process is not easy.  In fact it can be a living hell for a while. Catching up will mean giving up things that are hindering our walk whether it slows us down or blocks the road altogether. When we get to the place of ultimate surrender to Christ, that’s when we are free.

Sometimes we need to be reminded that we were once a whosoever.  The Gospel is for everyone, regardless of their past, their name, skin color, economic status or any other dividing issue. Jesus is still in the life changing business and we either work for Him, or against Him.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall [a]direct your paths.

A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough…I’m just taking You-Know Who at His Word…I don’t care that You-Know-Who has 99% and I only have 1% of someone’s heart, I’ll just keep kneading their thoughts, with guilt, and shame, and condemnation…A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough…-The Devil’s Diary, Bobby Price.

Unforgiveness in and of itself is poison. When unforgiveness is directed toward others it’s bad enough, but what about when it’s directed inward?

Unforgiveness is a choice and while we think we are punishing the other person or punishing ourselves, the reality is we are usurping God’s standards and authority. It didn’t work out for Lucifer, it won’t work out for us either.

18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as [a]have a contrite spirit.
