That I May Not Cause Pain!

“That Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:10 New King James Version                                                      

Think of a loving father that guides his child in how to have mature respectful relationships. That is a good father.

 

How much more supreme is Jehovah our Heavenly Father?

When we submit to His divine wisdom He guides our thoughts away from evil and towards love and good.

 

When someone does us wrong our first instinct is revenge. This is a never ending circle of destruction of I get you back, then you get me back even worse. Each time it escalates.

 

When, instead we pray to our loving Father to take our hand and guide us in the righteous way to handle the matter not only does it prevent a lot of hardship and trouble but it also glorifies Him.

Then there is the unknown.

Perhaps someone did us wrong unintentionally but we take it personally and want revenge. An innocent individual gets hurt. As well, we as ambassadors of Christ blacken His holy name.

 

This has happened to me on a few occasions and I felt like a fool towards the one I offended and all those present. As well I was deeply ashamed towards my loving Father in Heaven. When the truth came to light I humbly approached them and deeply, sincerely apologized.

We are ambassadors for Christ unto the world. Let our words and actions be done accordingly to bring Him glory not shame. Joseph- Anthony: Green

If we pray for Jehovahs hand to guide us through the situation and are obedient unto His guidance we not only prevent unnecessary harm but bring glory unto Him. Because of this we may be the catalyst to brining lost souls into Jehovahs holy family by our actions.

When we pray for revenge Jehovah is silent. When we pray for wisdom to deal with the situation righteously He abundantly blesses us with holy wisdom. Joseph- Anthony: Green

Prayer: Please Jehovah-‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) daily take my hand and guide me words and actions that they bring praise and glory unto You and bring the little lost sheep unto You. I humbly request this in the name of he who led His disciples into becoming wise, meek, humble and gracious unto all Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.

Be Patient With Him.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9 New International Version

My computer kept on shutting down.

It was taken to a computer repair store and they informed me that because there was a corrupt file I would need a new hard drive and new Microsoft installed.

I looked up the prices in Hong Kong (because I do not trust the rubbish in China) and it would have been almost as expensive as to buy a new one.

I prayed to Jehovah to find some inexpensive way to repair it.

Finally it shut down completely.

Resigned to buy new hard drive and Microsoft in China the computer was taken to a computer mall.

 

The Lord moved me to go a different route than I normally take and go into a different computer mall. There was a booth selling the brand of computer I have. The salesman was asked to look at the computer. He informed me that it did not require a new hard drive but a new computer chip that cost one tenth the price.

Now the computer is working as good as new and none of the programs were lost.

I prayed for over a month before He answered my prayer.

Jehovah answers our prayers in His time not ours, in His way not ours.

Prayer: Please Jehovah ElShaddai (God who is sufficient for the needs of His people)  bless me with patience and faith that You always provide for all my needs in Your time and in Your way.

I meekly request this in the name of He who waited over thirty years before You blessed Him with His gift of ministry Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
