we are all guilty of not havig very nice thoughts toward others who are careless, reckless, self centered, drivers who the vast majority of are also without Christ and on the fast track to Hell for all eternity... There is no shortage of self centered drivers who think that the road either belongs to them, or they are exempt from obeying the rules of the road, also known as LAWS, in every single state..
There also is no shortage of lack of tolerance or patience with others who see things differently than ourselves, myself included sometimes..
The Bible brings me back to reality and helps me to refocus on WHY I am here on God's earth that HE created...
I can get all upset over the things that are going on inour nation right now then I came to the conclusion a few days ago, GOD already KNEW this was going to come and is part of HIS plan as well.. IF HE did not want these things to happen, they would not happen..
HIS plan is clearly spelled out in scriptures that I preached from church pulpits and taught in Bible College.
That plan is a roadmap for every person who becomes a child of God. We are to become more like HIM and less like the devil.. Patience, as you pointout, or acceptance of others is something God desires us to have with all people..
I find myself guilty of being too quick to be offended by remarks and did not stop to realize that these are people making them that clearly do not KNOW GOD, His Word, His plans, and are not led by HIM.. What more do I expect form them? Their Father is NOT GOD. Their daddy right now is Satan and his desires and lusts they will serve unless they come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ..
I waas no different than them at one time early in my adult life. Jesus changed me. Forever.
I look forward to that He promised would come when we are called up home to live with him in Heaven for the rest of eternity...
These are the times we are living in right now.. Believers are supposed to be paying attention and know this..
Jesus told us to NOT WORRY. He's in control and HIS plans and will accomplished..
This is why HE has instructed us as HIS Children to not worry or fret about the times or season but to keep our eyes open and know the season and look to the eastern sky.
Thanks for stopping by. I decided to actually post a lot of scriptures that are particularly good reading for anyone to take a quick read.. I also enjoy re-reading them as I take a few minutes doing this...
The Lord bless you...
