Words of wisdom from our brothers and sisters,what's on your mind?

[LadyMountaineer]

Luke 6:45 NIV

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

So let us, by the power of GOD, and our eagerness to do of HIS will, our gratefulness for the manifold free gifts received daily, daily be found doing in accord with our faith in HIS Word. Let us, by HIS guidance, indeed follow HIS Way, even showing the Way to others through our doings by HIS grace and mercy to the benefit of each, even all.

 

Sorry for ranting.

"Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil." "But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly."

Wherefore, do I plead My grief and My sorrow to Him Who created Me and entrusted Me with His Message. Unto Him do I render thanks and praise for the things He hath ordained, for My loneliness, and the anguish I suffer at the hands of these men who have strayed so far from Him. I have patiently sustained, and will continue to sustain, the tribulation that touched Me, and will put My whole trust and confidence in God. Him will I supplicate saying: Guide Thy servants, O My Lord, unto the court of Thy favor and bounty, and suffer them not to be deprived of the wonders of Thy grace and of Thy manifold blessings. For they know not what Thou hast ordained for them by virtue of Thy mercy that encompasseth the whole of creation. Outwardly, O Lord, they are weak and helpless; inwardly they are but orphans. Thou art the All-Bountiful, the Munificent, the Most Exalted, the Most Great. Cast not, O My God, the fury of Thy wrath upon them, and cause them to tarry until such time when the wonders of Thy mercy will have been made manifest, that haply they may return unto Thee, and ask forgiveness of Thee for the things they have committed against Thee. Verily, Thou art the Forgiving, the All-Merciful.

Revelation 21:⁾He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ^(K)death shall be no more, ^(L)neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

I attended a Bible study which discussed the Christian duty to obey our government regardless of who is in office and not to speak ill of them, because leadership is given their power to rule through God.

A student asked the question I was also thinking. What about some the ungodly laws they have set forth? Then we were taught the difference in obeying and submitting. 

We were taught to obey all that is Godly and to submit to all that is ungodly, meaning refuse to do what is ungodly but accept any punishment received for not obeying. We were reminded that Gods children can sometimes be punished for doing nothing wrong just like Jesus was. 
 

That class was an eye opener for me and I am thankful for it.
