Sunday was a beautiful day at Rockford Church of God. God moved again in a mighty way in Pastor Hill.
Obedience played a big part of the service. Praise God; He was pleased. Now I will try to please God by being obedient.
He has laid this on my heart to share with someone who is at a crossroads and doesn’t know right from wrong. When someone does you harm it seems only natural that you should do the same to him, right? Wrong!
You can never get even with someone who harmed you. Any attempt to do so puts you behind the eight ball again. Two wrongs never make a right, nor can you right a wrong by committing another wrong.
You may be able to justify your actions politically or socially, but spiritually you will be held accountable for what you do. Why you do it doesn’t count.
The weight of life swings both ways and brings rewards at both ends of the spectrum. If your slate is clean when it swings toward you, you will not have to worry about being knocked down. Choose not to strike back and receive your great reward.
Everybody has had someone who has done them wrong, and we want them to know they cannot get away with what they did. But they did get away if your anger keeps you stuck in the situation.
When the table turns, we make mistakes, we create pain for others, and we cannot understand why they do not or cannot forgive us. Perhaps it is because there is someone we need to forgive. Forgiveness frees us from the pain of the past and moves us beyond our mistakes in the future.
What you give, you get. If there is a hidden grudge that you have been feeding – “forgive and you will be forgiven.” (Luke 6:37)
“If you fall, fall on your back. If you can look up, you can get up.”
Be willing to do what it takes.
There are so many people who need to be prayed for these days, including Mandy and Madison Hill, Butch Hardman, Robert Johnson, Linda Sue Brown, Vickie Scott, Tim Taylor, Joyce Taylor, all churches, leaders, and homebounds.
Happy birthday to D’ollis Lee, Tay Lee, Landon Lee, Chief Corey Shaw, and to all August babies.
