Vengeance in the Lords

Scripture:

Psalm 141:8-10 ⁸ I look to you for help, O Sovereign Lord. You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me. ⁹ Keep me from the traps they have set for me.  from the snares of those who do wrong. ¹⁰ Let the wicked fall into their own nets, but let me escape.

Observation:

I love how vengeance is always to be the Lords. So often i feel like my responsibility is to be the "justice bringer" to the church. My Job is really to bring people to Jesus and let him deliver the justice.

Application:

I need to be be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry for starters. secondly is to not feel it my job to be the one to deliver on my own version of Justice. My calling is to run to You my rock and deliver. My strength and peace

Prayer::

Lord i need you to help me in this. I want to walk in purity and wholeness as i deal with others. I will trust you in your delivery of justice. I love you my Jesus

Lord I want you to trust me

Scripture:
john 2:23 Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him. 24 But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew human nature. 25 No one needed to tell him what mankind is really like. NLT

Observation:
But Jesus didnt trust them...
This statement makes my heart sick. I want so desperately for Jesus to trust me. It breakes my heart that He cant trust me. It breakes my heart to know that he truly cannot trust me. I want to be trust worthy to him. In my decisions I make I want Him to say "I can trust this one".

Application:
Is it possible for Jesus to trust me? Can I live life one "Right" decission at a time and build trust with Jesus. I know He loves me. I know that he willingly chooses to trust the things I do, I just want to be one that is trust worthy to Him through and through

Prayer:
Lord, this is a funny thing to ask you, will you help me to life a trustworthy life for you. It seems silly to ask you to help me to life trustworthy so you can trust me. I think the real issue is that I am nothint without you Jesus. I love you

Living safe in the Lords hand

Scripture:
Jude 1:20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,[g] 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.

Observation:
Keep yourselves safe in Gods love. What does that mean? the writer of the Book of Jude makes a clear point that many deceptive teachers had come in and taught false doctrine in the Church. He warns those who had ears to heat, that they must be on guard of such teaching. Hell tells them that in order to keep your lives safe in the Gods love there are three things that need to be attended to: they are:
1. Building each other up on the your most holy faith
2. Praying in the power of the Holy Spirit
3. Waiting on the mercy of the Lord Jesus who brings eternal life.

Hmmm. what does this all mean? I think the Lord wants us to live secure life's in him. Risky and dangerous as they may feel, in the hand of the Lord safe is the measure of it.

Application:
so, while in the safety of the Lord, i want to live building others up in their faith, pray often in my prayer language, and wait on the Lord to respond His way and in His time

Prayer:
Lord help me to keep myself safe in your hand. - i love you
