Wanting to Do What Is Right



"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
    - Psalm 119:11

 "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:"  - James 1:19

 Dear Friends,

 God's word hidden in our hearts will help us to give pause to how we act and to the words we speak.  

 Our words matter.  Let us endeavor to listen more intently and speak more graciously.

 in Christ,

Be Slow To Speak

by Kate Ulmer ( Public Domain)
Oh, what pain and sorrow, bitterness and woe,
Evil speaking causeth in this world below;
Loving hearts are broken, dearest hopes destroyed
In their beauty blighted by the thoughtless word.
Oh, remember, Jesus ev'ry word doth hear,
By His Holy Spirit He is ever near;
Think how much He suffered ere you wound Him more,
When the world's reviling for your sake He bore.
Love that thinks no evil, dwelling in the heart,
By His Holy Spirit He is life impart;
Then each tho't and action by its pow'r controlled
Word unkind, 'twill prompt us carefully withhold.
Make your life a blessing, follow after peace,
Patient-y pursue it from all evil cease;
Scatt'ring deeds of kindness speaking words of love,
Thus the pathway brighten to your home above.
Chorus
Ye, who love the Savior and would win His smile,
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from guile;
He will ever help you,if His aid you seek,
Whatsoe'er betideth, loving-y to speak.

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
