Just Let Go, and (Let GOD) Move Forward

¹⁶ I also noticed that under the sun there is evil in the courtroom. Yes, even the courts of law are corrupt! ¹⁷ I said to myself, “In due season God will judge everyone, both good and bad, for all their deeds.” (Eccl. 3:16-17 NLT)

So last night Cherilyn and I sat down together and opened the letter from the St. Louis County Courts, and to our utter shock, the judge ruled in favor of the people that mishandled our vehicle, returned it to us mechanically destroyed, and then after we had to come to court twice (the defendant didn't show up the first time), and pay for summons/sheriffs to reach the defendant.....they charged us, YES CHARGED US $63 in court costs.   Now if there was ever a time I/we felt robbed......last night was it, but no sooner than we were shook about this.....A friend of Cherilyn's is facing the reality that her father is going to die.  I'm praying for other's with a sick parent, some traveling, and other prayer requests....that force me into this belief that despite the state of current affairs.......GOD IS STILL GOOD.   Our van will get fixed......but our friends & family members who are experiencing the pangs of life & death....will need our prayers and support.

The reality is, if we are all honest.....WE ARE ALL GOING THROUGH SOMETHING, and whether they rule in our favor, we have to remember GOD's promises to never leave us or forsake us is true.  That HE WILL PROVIDE.     That there is a day of judgement coming where EVERY WRONG will be vindicated.  THAT THIS IS THE DAY THAT HE IS MADE, and I CHOOSE ....WE CHOOSE (despite emails, judgements, workings of the enemy, etc) to rejoice, YES REJOICE!  I thank each of you for praying for Cherilyn and I regarding this court case, during the transitions at our beloved church, and just because....your prayers have given us the PEACE & JOY of the LORD so that we can focus on LOVING GOD & LOVING PEOPLE!  HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND and this concludes my BLOG A TIME FOR!  LGLP

DO RIGHT!

Colossians 3:7-9 (NLT)

⁷ You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. ⁸ But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. ⁹ Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.  Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.

No matter where you turn, you can see a mixture of these sign posts.  Some people are telling the truth, some people are lying, but everyone of us are doing one or the other.   I sometimes sit back and read FB posts about politicians and wonder if we are so blind that we don't even see that we too, lie.  That we too mix a little scripture with a lie, and try to make it true (or walk) simply to fulfill our own agendas.  BUT if you are a believer.....well this should drastically changes things.  TRUTH TELLING "in LOVE" (which is you allowing the SPIRIT of GOD to lead your conversations...not you mavericking your way to tell on folks)  should be an intricate part of your conversation.   Not gossipping, anger, malicious behavior, dirty jokes or disgracing God's creation. 

WAIT DISGRACING GOD'S CREATIONS?  Now wait a minute I can't talk about people even when I know they are wrong?  Here's my question for you.....what GLORY does GOD get out of your conversations?  Cause if it's not about getting or giving GOD GLORY, it's about you getting GLORY, and my friend....you're GLORY aint worth an eternity spent basking in the sinful lather of it.  GOD created you....and them....Satan didn't make/create one human being.  So as you are talking about him, her or them....you are either blessing GOD's creation or attempting to curse it.

SO may your speech today, give honor and GLORY to GOD!  I pray you catch yourself, that you feel convicted, you stutter over your words when you part your lips to say anything that curses that which GOD has blessed (created).  If you can't say nothing good.....PRAY! It's time to do right..and no better day than today to start! May the NEW CREATION PLEASE STAND UP!!!!   LGLP
