As Thanksgiving nears this week the Holy Spirit has brought countless blessings to mind that the Lord has showered on this hippo and so many others in the last year. He has provided emotionaly, physically, financially and best of all has nurtured spiritual growth and deeper abiding in Christ Jesus, Father God and the mighty Holy Spirit.
As I was reading a devotional yesterday morning the message was on
Mark 4:19 "Beware of the cares of this world......"
because these are the very things that effect our attitude of our souls. Simple worldy things can distract us from God. What really got my attention was the part of the message that said that God nevers gives us discernment about others to criticize but so we may intercede in prayer for them.
The Lord did not come to judge but to save.
If He shows us that someone may be struggling with an issue because of pride, self pity or any of the worldy emotions that keep us from fellowshipping with Him as well as others we need to intercede, stand in the gap in prayer for that person. Only the Lord can change hearts.
