Fellow labourers-
Today's article bring to mind the scripture "In the days of the judges every man did what was right in his own eyes." Does this not suggest that there is a right way? I believe it is the Proverbs which says that "there is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end there of are the ways of death." If there is ever a time in our history that we are testing the limits of our gauges it is now.
There is a reason and an excuse for all we do. There is even justification based on reason and facts. So I ask what guides us? I had a rough time making a decision last week. There was something I could do which I could make legitimate not at the time of execution but later. But, in my mind I was restless until I kept asking what would Jesus do? Do you know that in that split second the answer came and I felt such a joy and peace within.
I know we all are driven to take risks, but please ask what would Jesus do? The answer may not be what you expect, but it will set the burdened conscience free.
Pax Vobiscum,
Robert A. Stewart

ReplyDeleteI am certainly blessed with this thought. Very recently, I was very upset and hurt because of something someone did to me. I took up my pen and paper and I started to write to let the person have a piece of my mind. Then my thought reflected on how to act in difficult situations in other words what would Jesus do. I shifted my focus and started reflecting on Jesus and his forgiveness in my life. The very same day I was commended for my efforts by someone else for something I did. I sensed that same joy you now referred to. It was an opportunity cost for me to have given up the hurt and enjoyed the joy in return.
God bless you PD it pays off when we make the right choice. Continue to be used by God.
