Bible Note: Good morning Jesusfreak Boy! This is quite an interesting topic. And I will admit it... I too tend to lean more toward mercy and compassion (not that the others are unkind or unloving). Maybe because I'm a woman!! LOL Micah 6:8 says He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? This is a scripture that I meditate on and the 'love mercy' has really impacted me. A few of my friends do have the opinion that I am too 'soft'. :) And with a topic like this and with all the scriptures that have been posted, I seek to rightly divide the Word of Truth. In a conversation with a brother yesterday, Gal 6:1 was brought up then I wondered when do you 'deliver such an one unto Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus' and when do 'those that are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekenss; considering thyself, lest thous also be tempted'. Jesus is called the Lamb of God (John 1:29,36) and He's called the Lion of Judah (Rev 5:5) A lamb and a lion! Talk about a contrast! LOL Since He is our perfect example, I want to learn when to be a lamb (deal gently) and when to be a lion (arrhhhh! deal sharply) LOL! Forever learning, forever growing... May you be abundantly blessed today... :) Abba Father bless... Meredith |
