Disgraceful Shepherds

The Imprecatory

Help me Lord for I am grieved and outraged with the ungodliness in our pulpits today. We have men and women in pulpits which have no right to be there. There are those that are immoral. Others are masquerading as shepherds when all they want to do is promote their own social justice or political agenda. They have no desire to teach and preach the true gospel.

Shame on them.

Then there others who are racists, and promoting the LGBQTIA agenda, and the murdering of babies in the womb and have the audacity to call it healthcare!

I am sick of these people to be honest and I know that you are too. But I hear your word telling me to pray for my enemies, take the high road. This I do often, but sometimes through gritted teeth. 

Lord you know that I am angry for your sake alone.

Is it wrong Lord to have vitriol for these people when they blaspheme your Holy name?

I often wonder how much of this can you take dear Jesus?!

God' s Peace

 Dear Lord I want to thank you for your peace! It passes all logic and to the world it does not make sense. Your word has taught me that your peace does not mean the absence of pain and suffering for we still live in a world dominated by sin so trouble is power for the course - for now.

Your peace is inward. Your peace is actual rest for my soul. It is fresh cool living water for my mind. When I meditate upon it, it takes away fear and anxiety. Lord continue to train me to meditate on your promises so that I keep my sanity for it so easy to get distracted by the cares of this world.

Your peace is salvation Lord. Because of it I am free. I am more than a conqueror. I am victorious, Hallelujah! David declared "surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." I too claim those promises for I am a son of the King  just as he is.

AMEN
