ONE TOUGH THING=TO DO
I don’t think
I have any enemies=
At least=NO ACTIVE ENEMIES
On my part
But I do have people
That FRUSTRATE ME
That annoy me=
Nevertheless=our LORD tells us
It is our Christian job
To PRAY
For our enemies too
ONE TOUGH THING=TO DO
“But I say to you
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
And PRAY for those
Who persecute you”
Matthew 5:44
Don’t you just have
People that ANNOY YOU
MAYBE people that
Don’t use their blinkers=
People that don’t RETURN
Their phone calls
Just people=that GO out of their way
TO ANNOY YOU
ONE TOUGH THING=TO DO
Is to LOVE our enemies
Is to PRAY FOR PEOPLE
That annoy you
“You prepare a table
Before me=In the presence
OF MY ENEMIES”
Psalm 23:5
“The Lord said to my Lord
‘Sit at my right hand
Until I make YOUR ENEMIES
A footstool=for your feet’” Luke
20:42-43
We all have
So MANY COMMON ENEMIES
The Russians invading of the Ukraine-
The armed robbers-and criminals
Those brutal dictators=from other countries
We have to PRAY for them too=
For God to
CHANGE their hearts
And their ways
But we should also pray
For those=that SIMPLY ANNOY US
For the Lord knows
That sometimes=we ARE
Those people too=someone
WHO ANNOYS OTHERS
PRAYING for our enemies
Praying for those
Who simply annoy us
We are to LOVE=our Lord
Tells us
TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES
ONE TOUGH THING TO DO!
“Do not gloat
When YOUR ENEMY FAILS
When they stumble-
Do NOT
Let your heart rejoice”
Proverbs
24:17
“The LAST ENEMY
To be destroyed=is death”
1 Corinthians 15:26
So no matter=how difficult
That it is
Keep your enemy
In your heart=and PRAY for them
It is
ONE TOUGH THING TO DO
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FORGIVING and
LOVING=Holy Father God!
