Good morning ☀️
We live in perilous times even though in #America our oppression is more subtle than what besets people in other places in the world. Let’s pray for ourselves and the people who struggle in #Israel, #Ukraine, #Russia, and #China. Pray for whichever nation God places on your heart today. The world needs more God and less of man’s flawed reasoning.
“For he will conceal me in his shelter
in the day of adversity; he will hide me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock. Then my head will be high above my enemies around me;
I will offer sacrifices in his tent with shouts of joy.” Psalm 27: 5-6 (CSB). #pray #Christian #Jewish #Muslim #faith #God #fridaymorning
Greetings 👋
God knows who we REALLY are. We are NAKED before him. It’s a sobering realization, isn’t it!
Here’s my meditation for today continuing in 1 John 4.
“. . . He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world, and therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are of God, and whoever knows God listens to us. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
1 John 4: 4-6 (MEV).
Greetings 👋
I’m meditating on 1 John 4. We are admonished to test the spirits coming from our leaders and others with whom we interact.
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4: 1-4 (NIV).
