obadiah

i had to write a quick post, got a word , have to get it out.

Obadiah verse 12; you should not look down on your brother in the day of his misfortune........

Wow, I think that puts things in perspective, God's perspective,

So many issues, issues avoided, judged, debated, here we go.....

homosexuality, abortion, prostitution, drugs, sex, porn, booze, books, films, mediums, money, etc...

Don't look down on your brother or sister, see where you can help, reach out, don't shy away, be there. Read all of Obadiah, see what God thinks of those who just stand by, or jump on a righteous bandwagon.

I have had some time on my hands the last couple of weeks, been doing stuff at home, some prayer with the church, met with some people. That was cool, but I came home last night just feeling, God's peace.
Why?
My group went out and tried to clean up part of an area that has problems. I was with 10 young people picking up litter. It was small, to some it may sound inconsequential, but it was real. Being a physical embodiment of His work in a real world, showing a real God at work. No judgement, and we found needles, no looking down, and some of this stuff smelt. Just getting on and doing it. Loved it.

back the other way, I am really scared for my kids, and this world, i can only commit that to God, but I feel i am being down on them at the moment, angry, judging, what a fine balance it all is.

Doesn't God do a good job. Thanks God

I find it hard to not gloat at what I've got. But I have to remember that what I've got comes from God. He has done a good job and I'm truely thankful to Him.
