wordly wordy chatter
words gone wrong
what’s the matter?
prince of the air
got your tongue?
he’s having a heyday
having fun..
using your mouth
for evil
to incite strife
nothing good and nothing right..
Prince of Peace
sadly looks on
where did the children
of God go wrong?
no longer discerning
between darkness and light
only puffed up
and following the crowd..
who think being louder
is ok
to prove their point
in what really is unsound..

Which way?
And you He made alive, who were dead in trepasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience. among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us. Even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved). and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That in ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2: 1-8
As a child of God we are in the world but not of it. That means we are different. To be different. Not mean. not contentious, not vulgar, nor crude. We don’t follow the crowd of disobedience but on the path of right standing..
Throughout my years, I have met many people. Maybe not as many, as others have. I tend to be on the quiet side, until a burst of inspiration comes my way, which seems to be far and few between. This morning, I have been thinking, about a few, that I have had the privilege of meeting. They blessed me with friendship. But what stands out, is that they were gentle messengers, extending kindness and love. Today, I ponder, and think about these people. Some were in my life for just a season, perhaps for the purpose of sharing their wisdom with me. The sweetness they exhibited, was like the fragrance of a flower, or the fresh smell of the earth, after a downpour of rain. With heartfelt gratitude, I am thankful for all.. I think most importantly, is the fact that we all need prayer and that there are always opportunities to extend kindness and encouragement.
