We pray that the day becomes Right...

Somewhere along the line, something happen to me and God wasn't pleased with that situation. But I don't understand how God can be unhappy with an event he let happen. I was disputing with some brothers and it was a no win situation.

We just had to give in for peace sake. But it was costly. That why I called this peace. "We pray that the day becomes right". And I asking for you prayer that my undisclosed situation becomes right. So the gift can return and we can explore God wisdom again.

Something that we are studying today: In the old testament, the sacrifices continue, now money is involved. So its a tracedental thing, from animal sacrifice to giving money. But there's something the looms this morning as we read, God says is Hosea 6:6, It's mercy I want and not

sacrifice. The purpose of the whole matter was not to have rhetorical exercise in knowledge or 'wisdom' but to bring mercy. Jesus told the Pharisees see that you go learn, I desire mercy and not sacrifice...In the new testament Jesus makes this statement,21 And he said to them,"Is a

lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand?22 For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light.23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."24 And he said to them,"Pay attention to what you hear: with the

measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.25 For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away."Is the truth to be hidden? Will it be able to stay hidden? And I we hide the truth, he

finishes...and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. I don't know how this happen to an individual, but things don't work then and nothing seems to work. Like Lot's wife, she wanted to hold on to what she had and she turned into a pillar of salt. Like wise Jesus

said that if any body loves his life more than him, he will eventually loose that too. But what does it all mean?Sometimes we don't prosper because because the measure we use, will be measured back to us...quite a variety of statements. Perhaps you know what this all means? The fact of the

matter is that we can do nothing agaist the truth but everything for the truth. And if God want go to remote place on the globe or putting in terms an outsider might understand God is willing to make that kind of sacrifice. God loves to sacrifice Dogma for fellowship. Reaching the lost is

the prime directive and not how much wisdom I accumulate to put in books or rules. The word of God is not for the shelf but to bring someone to enlightment. But how mush rhetoric sacrifice are we willing to make to reach our goal- to save some lost souls. Jesus says in Luke 14, if your

son or even your ox falls on pit will you not put down your Mantra and take him or even it out? What measures are we willing to take to build our tower? Are we willing to pay cost? Or are we going to look back and turn into a pillar of salt? May you be blessed. Amen.
