Good day and praise the Lord for another day on the path that leads to Him. I was counseling someone close to me last evening on the subject of anger when I got an urging in my spirit to write about Saul. Get ready for what came out of that urging.
Today’s Prayer
Father, I come before you on behalf of my brothers and sisters in Christ this morning with this prayer. I have a tugging on my heart today to pray for those that know you but have fallen away. I pray right now that they will repent and come back and not just sit at your feet, but crawl into your lap and ask for forgiveness. There are so many that feel that they can’t go on, but You promise that you will never leave or forsake us. Touch their hearts today Lord and bring them back into the fold. I pray this in JESUS’ wonderful name, Amen and Amen.
Anger
Born of the Spirit
Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, and he became very angry.1 Samuel 11:6
The
Bible tells us that Saul had just been crowned as the new king of
Israel. His first battle was upon him, and he had to bring a new
nation together to fight the Ammonites. The Spirit of GOD fell on
Saul and resulted in righteous anger against GOD’s enemies. GOD led
him to send an unusual “direct-mail”package to all the regions where the people lived. He cut up pieces
of oxen and sent the pieces throughout Israel with a warning-“Join
the army or your oxen will be as these!”
Sometimes
GOD uses strong measures to accomplish His purposes. In this case,
fear and intimidation were used to motivate the army of GOD to be as
one. GOD must have felt this is what was needed to drive this army to
become a unified force.
GOD
knows the only way to achieve success is if the army is one. A house
divided cannot stand. What will it take to unify your company, your
church, and your family to be one? Unless you are one, you cannot win
the battles you will face. Ask GOD to make you and those you walk
with to be one in mission and one in spirit.
Quote of the Day
While we are zealous for good works, let us be careful not to put them in the place of Christ’s righteousness, and not to advance anything which may betray others into so dreadful a delusion.
