Daily Thoughts - into the deep.
"Indeed for your own lifeblood I will demand an accounting: from every animal I will demand it, and from a human being, each one for the blood of another, I will demand an accounting for human life." Genesis 9:5
Starting over, even God started over in a sense. How do you treat others? How do you treat yourself? God saved mankind because of Noah's faithfulness, He showed mercy to man. He started over, giving us instructions and letting us know there will be an accounting for our actions. Within this story is the mercifulness of God.
Do we see how God treats us? He gives us freedom to chose but not without consequences. He corrects us or at least tries if we are listening. As followers of Christ we are to do the same. "Be merciful, just as [also] your Father is merciful." Luke 6:36
Being merciful isn't about live and let live. "These then are the things you must do: Speak the truth to one another; judge with honesty and complete justice in your gates. Let none of you plot evil against another in your heart, nor love a false oath. For all these things I hate—oracle of the Lord." Zechariah 8:16-17
Dear Lord God, our lives can change in the blink of an eye. Each day You give us the opportunity to walk in truth with You. Help me understand Your truth, guide me along the right path that I may be a pleasing offering in Your site. Prayers for a friend under the weather, bring peace under his roof. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Health of the Sick, Pray for us
St Ignatius, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
