Time for Peace and love for the oppressed


Verses: Psalms 10 : 1 - 18

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.




My thoughts about the verses:

Humanity as a whole stands up against the will of God.  There are so many groups of people that are fighting God and each other.  Instead of uniting and spreading the news of peace and love, people have waged war against each other.

Those groups in the world that have stood up and said peace is the answer have often been mocked by groups.  They have faced persecution and have had to hide among other groups to survive.  The wicked seem to be stronger than those that serve God.  Yet, that is only a temporary situation.  See those that truly serve God will be justified and helped.

I am sitting here today thinking about the children that have travelled hundreds of miles just hoping that the future here in America would be better.  I am thinking about the mothers and fathers that have sent their children to America with the dream that they can get out of the violence that live in.  I am thinking about the children that are on buses that are being shaken by people that want them to go back to where they come from.  I am also thinking about what God is saying to us.

We are to help those that are oppressed.  When families are willing to do anything so that their children can live a normal healthy life we have to recognize their pain.  We have to see into their eyes and know it isn't to take over the country.  It isn't to burden the government.  It is simply so they can get education, places where it is safe to play.  A place where they know they can get meals and not have to beg on streets or live in despair.  Those in this country and throughout the world that believe in God must stand up.

It isn't just happening in the United States it is happening all over the world.  There are people that are living in situations that are dangerous.  Where being a child that can learn, and live in peace is almost impossible.  We hear about the casualties but do we go beyond the casualties.  To the lives that have been destroyed through wars, violence and hate.

God wants those that proclaim the faith to stand united.  We should show love and mercy to our fellow man, woman and child.  God wants a world where people can live free and without wars and violence.  God desires a world where people put the love of God before anything else.

I think it is shocking that we hear so much of the bad things happening in this world.  I would love to have someone step up and talk about the good of Humanity.  To talk about those that are praying for peace.  To mention those that open their homes and hearts for children and families that have nowhere to call their own.

The next time that you are in a situation where hate comes in your mind, think about God and what God would want you to do.  Is it time that we stop being the people that continue the hate and war. Imagine what would happen if everyone that believed in God would decide that they would not fight for anyone for just one day.  I think we would see a world at peace.  This should be our desire.

Prayer:

Dear God we thank you for your love.  We thank you for the guidance that you give us each day.  Help us show love to our community.  Help us bring your love to those that are oppressed.  Help us stop hate and wickedness.  Let us be the instrument of hope for someone today.  In your name we pray. Amen

Questions:


There is one and only one question.  think on this a second and if you are willing to do it please share what your day was like with us or others that you come in contact.  Will you choose today to put hate down and show love to all humankind?
