PSALM 37

THANK YOU FATHER

I had a real good day yesterday because I was able to speak to a woman about Jesus.
I was talking with a couple of people at lunch and we were talking about the Lord.
One spoke of a tough time that they were having making ends meet and the other quoted scripture, saying that they had never seen the righteous forsaken of their children begging bread.

A woman from another country overheard us talking and she said, In her country she had seen the unrighteous men and their children eat to the full and she and her family were the beggars.

I asked her to pardon me and to repeat what she said.
She talked about the system that uses free labour to gain wealth that is not shared among the citizens.
About the undemocratic ways of men.

I got up and went and sat next to her and first listened to her talk about how she was trying to send for her nephew to come here because of the situation in her country.

I asked if I could pray for her nephew and her country and she said yes, so I did.
The first thing that I wanted to do was define righteous and unrighteous but Holy Spirit said this is not a debate.

I told her that mans righteousness is not based in his own doing well but that it's through Christ and His doing.
I said because He is my Lord,I don't beg and I am not forsaken.
No matter who is in charge in our country I rely on the blood of Jesus.

I thought because she was Egyptian that she was Muslim, she is a Christian, I was shocked and surprised and happy because now we could go on to really increase hope.
She showed me the cross on her neck and said Jesus is my Lord.

She was just having a time right now with her faith as she has watched crooked men in power since she was 10 years old.
So I told her the unrighteous, wicked and greedy ways of men will not go unnoticed by God and we went to Psalm 37.

She is a very well educated woman and she is aware of the politics and greed of men worldwide.
The history of greed in our own country and abroad.

So I said, Lets look at what our Father has to say about this and keep that at the forefront of our prayers and thoughts.
Malachi

I just thanked God for the opportunity and the Word to speak to this woman and share that my heart was with her.
My heart wasn't with her simply because she was a Christian, my heart was with her because she cried out for real righteousness.

Real righteousness doesn't exploit it's people.
Real righteousness is not partial.

If a man comes into your establishment in ragged clothes he is not considered, yet the one who comes in dressed in fine clothes and diamonds is given a glass of water, a comfy seat and shade, who have you proved to be?

Many think that by trying to pick and choose who we minister to that we will reach a greater amount of people.

When we can walk outside of our homes or place of business and minister to strangers not knowing that we are ministering to angels.

But many ignore the Holy Spirit and those who God would have us speak to with our traditional strategies.

The least likely person in your eyes could be the person to take the real righteousness of God to the world and nothing would hinder it.
Leaning to the understanding of men.
How is your local city looking?

Pray for Egypt because The LORD wants them to put their trust in His Son to deliver them as He does all men and all nations.

LOVE Y'ALL :)
