Bear One Another's Burdens

 Bear One Another's Burdens

Galatians 6:2 NKJV‬
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the Law of Christ. 

♡🩷♡
©️Gill, John. "Commentary on Galatians 6:2".
Bear ye one another's burdens,.... "Which may be understood either of sins, which are heavy burdens to sensible sinners, to all that are partakers of the grace of God; Christ is only able to bear these burdens, so as to remove them and take them away, which he has done by his blood, sacrifice, and satisfaction; saints bear one another's, not by making satisfaction for them, which they are not able to do, nor by conniving at them, and suffering them upon them, which they should not do, but by gently reproving them, by comforting them when overpressed with guilt, by sympathizing with them in their sorrow, by praying to God for to manifest his pardoning grace to them, and by forgiving them themselves, so far as they are faults committed against them: or else the frailties and infirmities of weak saints, which are troublesome, and apt to make uneasy, are meant; and which are to be bore by the strong, by making themselves easy with them, and by accommodating themselves to their weakness, and by abridging themselves of some liberties, which otherwise might be lawfully taken by them; or afflictions may be designed, which are grievous to the flesh, and are bore by others, when they administer help and relief under them, whether in a temporal or spiritual way; and when they condole them, and sympathize with them, bear a part with them, and make others' griefs and sorrows their own:

and so fulfil the law of Christ; which is the law of love to one another, John 13:34 in opposition to the law of Moses, the judaizing Galatians were so fond of, and by which Christ's disciples may be distinguished from those of Moses, or any others. This is a law or doctrine which Christ has clearly taught, and recovered from the false glosses of the Pharisees; it is his new commandment, which he has strengthened and enforced by his own example in dying for his people, and which he, by his Spirit, inscribes upon their hearts. The Jews speak of the law of the Messiah as preferable to any other.

"The law (they say x) which a man learns in this world is vanity, in comparison of תורתו של משיח "the law of the Messiah", or Christ;''

by "fulfilling", it is meant, doing it, acting in obedience to it, and not a perfect fulfilling it, which cannot be done by sinful creatures.

x Midrash Kohelet, fol. 83. 1."
©️Gill, John. "Commentary on Galatians 6:2".

Do Not Forsake Me

Forsake me not, O Lord.
— Psalm 38:21 

"Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without His constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, "Forsake me not, O Lord." "Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe." A little child, while learning to walk, always needs the nurse's aid. The ship left by the pilot drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from above; let it then be your prayer to-day, "Forsake me not. Father, forsake not Thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake not Thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great Husbandman, forsake not Thy plant, lest it wither and die. 'Forsake me not, O Lord,' now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows, lest I murmur against Thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance, lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption. Forsake me not, for without Thee I am weak, but with Thee I am strong. Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot do without Thy guidance. The hen forsakes not her brood, do Thou then evermore cover me with Thy feathers, and permit me under Thy wings to find my refuge. 'Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.' 'Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!'"

"O ever in our cleansed breast,
Bid Thine Eternal Spirit rest;
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure and worthy Thee."

Political Intrigue & Conspiracy

 ☆~•~☆~•~☆~•~☆~•~☆~•~☆~•~☆

Political Intrigue & Conspiracy

Hosea 7:3-7 GNT‬

³ The Lord says, “People deceive the king and his officers by their evil plots. 

They are all treacherous and disloyal. Their hatred smolders like the fire in an oven, which is not stirred by the baker until the dough is ready to bake. 

⁵ On the day of the king's celebration they made the king and his officials drunk and foolish with wine. 

⁶ Yes, they burned like an oven with their plotting. All night their anger smoldered, and in the morning it burst into flames. 

⁷ “In the heat of their anger they murdered their rulers. Their kings have been assassinated one after another, but •no one prays to me for help.” 

•Call on Jesus!

‭1 Timothy 2:1-3 GNT‬

¹ First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people; ² for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence toward God and with proper conduct. 

³ This is good and it pleases God our Savior, 

Christians, do you pray that God's will or your will be done in our politics?

Forget the Former Things

 ðŸ•ŠðŸ©·ðŸ•ŠðŸ©·ðŸ•ŠðŸ©·ðŸ•ŠðŸ©·ðŸ•ŠðŸ©·ðŸ•ŠðŸ©·ðŸ•Š

To Christians Who Dwell on the Past;
Forget the Former Things of Old

I sometimes tend to think back on my past sins and feel guilt-ridden all over again. How dare I, when God has forgiven those sins? The Lord spoke to me today through His holy word.
My sins are washed whiter than snow in the blood of my Jesus. I am forgiven! God forgot about it! I am a new person. God my heavenly Father sees me clothed in Lord Jesus' righteousness every time I come to Him in prayer, thanksgiving and praise. I have eternal life as a Christian. I have peace with God. To be Spiritually minded is life and peace!
So look ahead child of God, with your eyes fixed on Jesus and focus on heavenly things and all He has done for you and rejoice! No one can accuse us, for Jesus gave it all for our sins. He gave His life and took it back again! What a Mighty God.

Isaiah 43:18 NKJV‬
¹⁸ “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old."

♡🩷♡
‭Isaiah 43:1-3
¹ But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.
² When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
³ For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;...

Romans 8:6 ‬
⁶ For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

‭Galatians 6:8
⁸ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

‭Romans 6:21-23 ‬
²¹ What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
²² But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Security in God

Security of Those Who Trust in the Lord,
and Insecurity of the Wicked

 Psalms 37:1-11 NLT‬
¹ Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.
² For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
³ Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
⁴ Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
⁵ Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.
⁶ He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
⁷ Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
⁸ Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm.
⁹ For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.
¹⁰ Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.
¹¹ The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity.
