Food For Thy Soul
Be careful joining a crowd of mockers without first:
1) checking your own mess (hidden and public)
2) checking the facts (maybe it’s a matter of maturity and the other person will need to grow to understand)
3) checking to see if the aim is for being “right” or being “righteous”.
A wise person’s steps are ordered by the Lord.
Know when to fight and what type of fights to pursue. Weigh out your battles carefully and measure if there is any selfish glory packaged with a prideful bow of “I’m right and you’re wrong”.
Prayer:
Search me O”God to find any fault in me. I am far from perfect Lord. I want to stand for truth. I want to do what’s best. Help me model your goodness. Remake me daily that my heart may seek good. Cleanse me of selfishness. Allow me to find pleasure in You and You alone. By the authority of Christ and all that He accomplished on the cross I pray…,
Amen🙏🏿
In a world that often prioritizes being 'right,' it is essential to focus on being 'righteous,' which involves a deeper understanding of our actions. This article explores the significance of self-reflection in maintaining our spiritual health. Begin with introspection—evaluate your hidden and public messes. Consider the maturity of those around you; perhaps they just need time to grow. Also, assess the motives behind your actions; are you fighting for validation or genuine righteousness? These reflections can guide you towards more thoughtful and meaningful interactions. Prayer is a powerful tool in this journey. By inviting God into your quest for self-improvement, you can seek guidance and cleansing from selfish motives. Embrace daily remaking of your heart to focus on good. Ultimately, your relationship with God is a vital part of this process, filling your spirit with love, restoration, and purpose. Remember, true fulfillment comes from joy in His presence, not in worldly arguments.
