Rejoicing in Misdeeds?

Rejoicing in Misdeeds?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who do not rejoice in wrongdoing. In Jesus name, amen.

The lines between what is right and wrong should be clear.

Yet, today, it seems that the demarcation has become blurred. Scripture is full of examples of right and wrong including the Ten Commandments (See Exodus 20).

Apostle Paul when writing in 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 (ESV) says,

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”

Believers should not be confused. Love does not rejoice in past wrongdoing, so stop being a wrongdoer. Run from temptation. Don’t rejoice is misdeeds. Rather, do what is right!

Beyond What You Can Bear?

Beyond What You Can Bear?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God will provide a way of escape from temptation.

There is a war for men’s and women’s souls. The enemy will use every conceivable tactic to derail a believer and lead him or her to sin. In the midst of these situations, God is faithful.

Apostle Paul provides hope for those in tempting situations. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, he says,

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

Hold on to this promise. At times of testing, God is there. Escape. You can endure it!
