Under His control

Praise God.  

I had a decision to make this week-a tough one. I could see the 'right' in both decisions. My Spirit has been unsettled and I have been reminded I am in error of dissention- (public argument- namely for me through the court system) - which is against the fruit of the Spirit. Namely going through with assult charges that I didn't seek originally but I had an opportunity to drop. I've been struggling with finding out 'what is holy'. But even when seeking holiness I struggled with trying to create my own security. Your choices should be based on what is holy- the wisdom will be provided to understand.

I was reminded today that what has been freely given you must give freely. 1 Cor 2:12. Your Spirit will help you with that discernment. It is up to God to bring justice- and it is up to you to give forgiveness and grace to those who have hurt you. HIS will be done. Your choice must reflect submission to HIS will and His Sovereignty to rule. I do not have the right to seek justice because I am not free of judgement. Only God can provide holy justice.  

In the end, I did not recieve justice, so far as I can see- but the Lords hand is upon my affairs. God will have justic on those He has justic. He will have mercy on those He has mercy. It is my duty and desire to live like Jesus- and show mercy. I cannot cast the first stone.

My Spirit has settled- and now I look to my next struggle in my effort to live liek Jesus did.

PTL!!! Amen. this is the walk that so many seek to find, yet allow the world to influence their choices. May the LORD continue to bless you in your growth and walk with HIM!!!
