Reading:
Numbers 25-26 and 1 Corinthians 13
Scripture:
Numbers 25:11, Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned
back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he was jealous with my
jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in my
jealousy.
Thoughts:
Are we jealous for what God is jealous for, is our heart broken for what is
breaking God’s heart? Phinehas murdered two people when they were in the act of
fornicating. In America, society has gotten to a place where we applaud things
that a hundred years ago, we would have been hung or shot us for. The Word of
God is clear on what is sin and what we need to avoid, yet much of the world
has embraced it even to the point that there are churches that are accepting of
these things. We are called to love and not to judge, but the Word does say
that if a brother or sister has unrepented sin, and after we and the elders
have come to them and they will not repent then we are to not associate with
them. We are to not persecute them, but we are to be carful because what we
allow into us though our eyes and ears will come out of our mouth. Let us meditate
on the Word and love all with the Love of God.
Prayer:
Father you are just, and you are the anchor I am connected to. I thank you that
you are always watching out for me us. I thank you for your provisions and
blessings that you pour out upon us every day. I ask that you make my heart
like your mold me and make me into the vessel you need me to be. Pour your
healing across the world guide the doctors to what need to be done.
