A 10 Commandment Countdown To 2022 - Command/Instruction #6 - The Respect and Gift of LIFE12/27/2021 Good Morning Monday...
Father, Your COMMANDMENTS are a Lamp to our feet. HELP US TO LIVE AWARE, TO CHOOSE WISELY, to stay close to You, and ANCHORED IN Your TRUTH! Thank You FOR Your GREAT LOVE and MERCY. Thank You that You Wait For Us and You STRENGTHen Us. We come to You today, choosing to walk in Your Presence, Instruction, AND LIGHT. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. AMEN! - A Ten Commandment Countdown To 2022 - Command/Instruction #6 - The Respect and Gift of LIFE Instruction: Most of us have probably never broken the sixth commandment, do not murder, but maybe we also need to take another look. This command also applies at the spiritual level. Yeshua, Jesus Christ, reveals to us that whoever is angry with his brother will also face judgement (Matt 5:21-22). Our Savior here is addressing any underlying resent, hate, ect. for our neighbor... and herein lies the beginning of all acts of murder or harm to our Brothers and Sisters. Here we are learning that even if we have not physically murdered someone, we have all felt resent and anger of another human being and this is where all murder is born. Since we all fall short of the Glory of God Our Father, we all might not be as distanced from murder as we think. It is also worth pondering that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21)." If we are carelessly gossiping and hating our brothers or sisters... we may be committing spiritual murder. May we all guard our gates (mouths), so we are not caught in offense. The Giving of Thanks: Our Father cares about all of us and tells us not to harm others. The opposite it also true. This command is also to our neighbors not to harm us, because Our Father loves us and cares for us. With this command Our Father God "is seeking to protect and safeguard your life from the harm others might bring to it (Luther)." We can all be very thankful for this! Confession: We have all been angry towards someone, and many of us have felt hatred in us towards them. Let us confess this to Our Creator. Have you ever spoken a hope for someones death? Confess this to Our Father. Have you ever gossiped behind someones back, spoke negatively about another because you didn't like them, or insulted another? Confess this to Our Father. Has anyone ever wanted or come to harm you? Confess this to Our Father. If we confess this, The Word tells us that Our Father is "gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love (Psalm 145:8)." If we confess these things and repent, not only is God gracious to forgive us, but He will also work in us through Yeshua to help makes us more like Him... a Life-Giver and not a life taker. Prayer: Dear Father, you have so blessed us with Your gift of Life. Help us to be mindful of our thoughts, words, emotions, and actions in the Life you have graciously given to us all. Help us to see that hatred is the same as murder to you and no murderer will receive eternal life (1 John 3:15). We still see hatred in our hearts for some of our brothers, sisters, and fellow man when we have thoughts of wanting them gone, hope for something bad to happen to them, or simply want them to fail. We humbly ask You Father, to root out any hatred from our hearts and exchange it with Your Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Compassion. We know this is the same Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Compassion that you have shown and granted us through Your Mighty Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ. It is in His Name, Our Mighty King, we pray. Amen. God Bless Everyone and have a Great Yeshua-Filled Week!
