August 30

Running with Jesus  

Acts 6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

     Here it is murmuring in the church! One of the ways Satan can hurt us is to cause murmuring that will lead to discord in the body and that will lead to division.  Also favoritism can lead to division. There were the hometown Jews and converted Grecians and they spoke two different languages that was a barrier. There was a problem that arose and had to be handled and needed a correction. Some widows were not getting food. So how was it handled? They elected seven men to oversee the problem. We learn from this to handle the situation in a Godly way by working together. If you have a complaint in the body address the issue and seek ways to overcome. Do not let Satan cause you to quit or leave, instead become the one who helps find a solution. So I ask are you murmuring about something or are you showing favoritism? Well grow up get over it and run to God and pray over it and seek a resolution!

Father, help us not murmur but seek solutions. Lord it is our desire to build up the body of Christ and not tear it down. Lead us along Your right path. Thank You for Your Word to guide us through life! It is so tough sometimes. Thank You for always being there for us. We love You. We pray for our body of believers today, keep Your hand upon each one and help us grow stronger in You as we approach tough times. 

Men of wisdom and full of the Holy Ghost in the morning! I will be here!
