Burying Our Heads
If a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Galatians 6:1
|
Contrary to common belief, the ostrich does not bury its head in the sand to ignore danger. An ostrich can run at a speed of 45 miles per hour, kick powerfully, and peck aggressively with its beak. As the largest and fastest bird in the world, it doesn't need to bury its head.
"Burying your head in the sand" is a saying that describes someone who wants to ignore his shortcomings or those of others. The prophet Nathan did not allow King David to forget his sins of adultery and murder (2 Samuel 12:1-14). It took a brave man to confront a king about his errors. Yet Nathan was obedient to God and wise in his approach.
The apostle Paul urged the early church to confront sin. He said, "If a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted" (Galatians 6:1). We are to confront our brothers and sisters in Christ about their sin with the view of restoring them to fellowship with God. We must also recognize that we are not immune to the same temptations.
We shouldn't go looking for sin in the lives of other believers, of course. But neither should we bury our head in the sand when it needs to be confronted. Albert Lee
Father, help me live today
With thoughtfulness in what I say,
Confronting wrong with truth and fact,
Expressing gentleness and tact. Hess
Slander seeks to destroy; rebuke seeks to restore.

Good evening Mayor! Hope your weekend was just wonderful and you had a chance to enjoy the bit of sunshine that you had.
Thank you for our beautiful lesson in God's Word. The key in that scripture is to "restore a sinner in love". For if we just say the words and don't do it in love, then we are sinning ourselves.

A PRAYER FOR OUR SOLDIERS
Today as I knelt in prayer, I asked my Holy Father for angels to guide your way, To protect you, to watch over you both night and day.
To cover you with His precious love and keep you from all harm, To light your path when the way is dark and when it's cold to keep you warm.
For you are an American soldier, defending freedom with your life, Leaving behind a family, children, a husband or a wife.
But you are a true patriot, guarding our country no matter the price, A proud American, ready to make the ultimate sacrifice.
So if you feel a gentle caress or the brush of velvet wings, You will know that angels hover over you and they were sent by the King of Kings!!
~~~~~~~~AMEN~~~~~~~~
God Bless America

A beautiful prayer for our troops, LUV.
...from a soldier's recent blog from Iraq...
I had a moment this morning to look around and see just how prevalent the idea of death is all around us. Not to be morbid, but everything that has a name, Cash Gym, Sallie Gym, Faulkenberg Theater, Wood DFAC, and so on, is named for someone who died around here. Every day, someone outside the chain link and concertina fence thinks about how he's going to try and kill us.
May God indeed Bless and Protect these Heroes.
To: Diver Dave
Amen...Dave. That really brings it home!
