93 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Superior Take the test!

We have been filled with the word of God last week with our week long meeting. We were told some things that we as a church need to be doing, things we need to stop doing and where this could lead us, if we obey.

I know that God has something more for us as a church. He did not start this just to let us go and sit idle doing nothing for His Kingdom. I will be spending time in prayer and in His Word, going back over what we were given. It is not to be taken lightly.

We were told to "get into His ways, not ours". It says in the Bible that it is for "His Kingdom come" not ours. He did not save us for ourselves but for His glory and His kingdom work here on earth.

We also are being given notice about our Tongue!! It is a sharp thing that can do harm instead of good. If a man can not control his tongue, he can not control anything else of his body or mind. Our pastor said this and it stuck to me---

"You can say what you want about a person and you can walk away just fine....no harm to you....but you have left that person wounded for a long time....You can get right with God for your wrong doings, but the person you slaudered with your words will need time to heal. "

This is something to remember before you open your mouth and let your words out. I know that I need to look at myself and see what I can do to change this in me.

Just something to think about today.

Hi Pat,
Thanks so much for the reminder!!! I know that sometimes I do NOT think about the other person tha I've hurt just that God will forgive me. I've also been reading bible verses to my boys about our tongues and how we need to control them to Glorify the Lord. We each went around the table and lunch and admitted to one another what things we say that hurt and we need to work on!
Thank so much for your post!!!
