-----------------------------------

Chris.

There are people, whom God says, do know wrong. The reason that God classifies them in such a way is that they walked in the Lord's Ways. David was such a person, we know, because the Bible records it, that David sinned, yet God gave him so much credibility. The condition of the heart has much to do with it. Even the people with the purest motivation in their hearts sometimes sin. Yet, if they, like David did, deal with their sins, God will give them credibility.

Chris.

Praying to, and waiting for, the Lord are linked by Faith. We Pray in Faith and Wait by Faith. If we have Faith, we can experience the Grace of God daily in our Walk with Him. If we have Faith, we will receive Strength. If we have Faith, we will reap the benefits of our Salvation both now and throughout Eternity. Let us exercise our Faith to both Pray to and Wait for the Lord.

'God The Father And Us.'
Ephesians 1:3-4.
a) He has Blessed us with every spiritual Blessing in the Heavenly realms because we belong to Christ.

-------------------------------------------
Chris.

The Fullness of God lived bodily in Jesus Christ as He walked and lived upon this Earth. We are told in the Scripture that we need to carefully heed the Lifestyle and the Teachings of Jesus Christ. He Shows us how to live. His Teachings still are the means of us obtaining Faith. If we somehow put God the Son in a lesser place in our thinking or in our theological stance, to God the Father, we are doing a great injustice to God's Holy Word. We have a Triune God - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

f)  Acts 7:9. Jealousy has to be overcome before we can seek Mercy.

    (Through this Second one I find the correct way to Appeal For Mercy)

  ---------------------------

    Chris.

Joseph suffered many things even though he was a good and righteous person. Sometimes we question God, actually that questioning can be anger also. We question why the righteous suffer. We need to go a step further than this and comfort and give encouragement to the suffering person or people as the Church community – the family of God. The comfort is far more important than the question.

(This Meditation sharpens me to guard against Selfishness)

------------------------------------------

Chris.

Selfishness is really something that we Believers need to learn to discard from our lives as quickly as possible. Distortions of Gospel Truth preached in multi cultural settings have encouraged selfishness in and amongst Christians and Churches and before the Return of Jesus Christ these distortions need to be washed out. The greatest deception is that Christ has come to meet our needs - this is simply just not true. The Truth is we need Christ, not our needs need Christ. Jesus Christ never came or comes to suit our selfishness, rather, selfishness is something we Believers need to learn to discard from our lives as quickly as possible.
