Morally Sound
Just: The primary sense is probably straight or close, from the sense of setting erecting / extending
Proverbs 9:9
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
The battle between the mind and the heart is a tricky one. One that I often have a hard time deciphering through. But then I go back to the word of God and things are made clear.
Pick me I hear the Lord speak
Pick me the ever-lasting love
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
In the message, translation it reads Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around.
James 3:8
But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Have you ever just said something not thinking twice about it? Only because you felt it’s what the receiver needed to hear? attempting to sway the way think toward you. Manipulation is what I hear the Lord speak and it is unfair to the other person involved. Sometimes when we hurt we think that we can hurt other people and that is not the way that God wants us to do things.
Grief has brought me to places emotionally and physically that I didn’t think was possible. While at work today speaking to my co-worker about Joshua passing I said to her that I am only able to breathe and carry on because of God’s grace and mercy let alone even stand up straight. It hurts me to even try to comprehend that statement but it is what it is and I leave it alone.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
I’m here for you when you need me I hear the Lord speak as tears run down my face. I have cried more times than I can even remember with the same thought running through my head asking “Why me Lord? Encouraging others while I have been stuck down gets hard at times, I even ask myself why I still write weekly but something in me keeps me going. I feel like if I were to put the pen down it would equate to what was spoken in 1 Thessalonians 5:19 quenching the spirit.
Father, a Just Man is what you softly spoke to me. Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Lord my prayer this week we would keep giving you the glory when we fall. Help us remember that the promise is ours and that we should not grow faint no matter our circumstances. Help us remember that it is your hands that carry us when our feet touch the water; Isaiah 43:2 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Many of us are hurting trying to remain strong while the wiles of the devil come against us. Help us stay steadfast while we learn to heal from what hurts. Help us to see your goodness even when things get complicated, covering our hearts, mind, and emotions in the Blood of Jesus. Give us your peace that surpasseth all understanding in the Matchless name of Jesus Christ.
