Good Morning “Receivers of Injustice.” Today we are in 1 Kings 21.
In today’s story Naboth is set up by Jezebel, accused by false witnesses, convicted and murdered - over a vineyard. One is hard pressed to find the “Prosperity Gospel”, in passages such as this. If only blessing, and our hearts desire is what God wants for us while we’re on this earth… then why did He allow things like this to happen to His people?
The Truth is, we live in a sinful world full of sinful people, where the “Evil One” runs wild. Apart from the Holy Spirit our hearts are wicked and people are little more than pawns in this spiritual battle (Jeremiah 17:9). Satan only needs to suggest to us what our flesh already wants and we act. As a result those of us who stand for righteousness and represent Jesus; we are positioning ourselves for attack and injustice in this life.
This is The Truth of the Word of God. Real and undistorted. Check out Jesus Words to His followers as He sends them out into it.
“…In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV
“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” Matthew 10:16 NIV
“You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. …”
Matthew 10:22-23 NIV
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 NIV
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34 NIV
Doesn’t sound much like health, wealth and prosperity does in it? But encourage you to read all of Matthew 10. The Truth is we can have True Joy, the Peace of God that transcends all understanding, in and through the midst of it all! This life is just the proving ground.
Love you all! Dig in!
