Anger toward a brother

 

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

Matthew 18:15–20 ESV

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.

Matthew 5:21-26 ESV

Am I my brother's keeper?

 

I was thinking about this yesterday, how we ask the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" compared to how Cain asked it. I think nowadays, we ask the question in search of an answer. To what extent are we to take care of our brothers and sisters? But when Cain asked the question, he was backtalking to God. Can you imagine?! He just killed his brother and then was flip with God when asked about Abel. The question was pure callousness (IMO).

John MacArthur wrote: "Cain's sarcasm was a play on words, based on the fact that Abel was the "keeper" of sheep."*

*MacArthur, John (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible, New King James version.

     Thomas Nelson, Inc. Nashville, TN. 

Charles Spurgeon wrote: “The cool impudence of Cain is an indication of the state of heart which led up to his murdering his brother; and it was also a part of the result of his having committed that terrible crime. He would not have proceeded to the cruel deed of bloodshed if he had not first cast off the fear of God and been ready to defy his Maker.”

Yet, when God imparts His judgment, suddenly Cain is upset. In verse 13 he said, “My punishment is greater than I can bear." and another translation reads "My guilt is too great to bear," but seriously, there's nothing to indicate to me that Cain felt guilty for what he did. He had to have known that God sees all, knows all. Cain also had to have known that it was wrong. 

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?” And the Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 

Genesis 4:9-14 ESV

     Today we need to be our brother's (and sister's) keeper. "See something. Say something." Be an advocate for those who can't or won't speak for themselves. When we take on that nurturing role, our hearts can't help but be filled with love for one another.

     I remember when I was a teenager, at least 16-years-old, my parents went on vacation and left my brother, Kevin, and me home alone for the first time ever. Kevin developed some weird something on the roof of his mouth. I about freaked out. I didn't know what to do. My concern was for my little brother and making him well; I didn't want to contact my parents because I wanted to show them that we could take care of each other on our own. There also may have been a tiny bit of worry that I fed him something wrong that caused this condition.

     After calming down, I thought, "What would mom do?" and I called the doctor. They got us in right away (probably because of my panicky voice). It turned out it was the result of too much sugar and it would go away in a few days. My point is, as much as my little brother and I argued, when it came down to him needing me, I was all in. This isn't to boast, this is to point out that no matter what you have going on with your siblings (or anyone), you are responsible to try to help them, and you should want to, as a Christian, and a member of the human race. Some people cannot, will not be helped, but if that's the case, give it up to God.

     To be fully transparent, I write this even as I know my heart is turned against certain people who give me so much grief. It's something I'm constantly working on. I used to think I couldn't talk about something unless I overcame that something, but I don't think like that anymore. We should share our struggles as well as our triumphs. In this way, we let others who are struggling know that they're not alone. Social media makes people think that everyone else has it all figured out, that everyone else is happy. My goal is to show the opposite, in a way. I want people to know that I'm just like them with the same issues and worries. I slip and fall, then get back up over and over again. I don't have it all figured out and I never will, but that's okay.

Love one another

 

Update - not necessarily on topic, but it may circle around as it often does (thank you, Jesus)...I had four moles removed from my face, and one from my neck late Monday. The last time I had this done was twenty years ago, and it was just two from my face. I remember that I still went to work, still went to school, and still took care of my daughters, the house, etc...and so assumed it would be the same this time. Nope. 

     Either because of where they were removed from, or five versus two, or being older, (or maybe I'm just not remembering last time very well), this time seems a lot different. Granted, it's only the morning of day 3, but still--my face hurts and is interfering with my 'to-do' list.

     I'm not sharing all of this for sympathy but to share God's sovereignty. If I weren't in pain, I'd be jamming in as much as possible into each day instead of taking it easy like I need to in order to heal.

     Once I realized this, I quit grumbling and started thanking God for taking care of me (which I should have been doing anyway). He is so good to me, and to all of us. We are His children. He loves us, unconditionally. He wants us to love one another, and live in unity. Everyone is your brother and your sister. Love one another accordingly.

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Romans 14:10-12

 

Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Pray for siblings

 

I heard a story this weekend of a family torn apart. I don't know the details and couldn't share them even if I did. What I do know is a family that was once close is now alienated from each other and it all began with an event between two siblings.

     It's hard for me to look at my brother, a hard-working responsible adult who gives me hugs and says, "I love you, Sis," and see the emotional, sometimes angry, sometimes messed-up kid who I grew up with. But every once in a while he'll giggle like he used to as a child, or get emotional or angry and it takes me back. We have a history together that I don't have with anyone else. We share secrets, memories. It's a special bond that holds us together. 

     We disagree on many things which is okay. We disagreed on many things as children, too. We've hardly seen each other through the pandemic, but when we did, we picked up right where we left off. I can't imagine a situation where either of us would do something that the other one would want to completely break ties. Yet it happens to families all the time.

     I am so blessed and so thankful for my family. It breaks my heart to hear of division among others. Let's pray for this special relationship this week. If you're an only child, think of someone close who you grew up with; a neighbor or a cousin, maybe. Someone who knows the real you.

I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's sons.

Don't be anxious

 

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6:25-34 ESV

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

God's plan

 

Most of my staycations are planned with a specific goal in mind, whether it be a writing goal, or a de-cluttering goal, or some other project. This time I just wrote out a massive 'to-do list' and decided I was going to try to get as much done as I could, but if I didn't get everything done, that's okay.

     I prefer to have a plan and stress about it and then get upset when things don't happen the way I assumed they would, but I have to say, this new way for me is a whole lot better. And isn't it funny how it goes along with the theme this week? Imagine that! 

     It is really a challenge for me to give everything up to God and depend solely on Him for guidance, but it is so incredibly freeing! You should try it. I highly recommend it, along with constant prayer. Our Father loves us and wants to help us. He has a plan. We each have a purpose. Why not allow Him to do all the heavy lifting? Why would we choose anxiety and stress over loving guidance?

For I know the plans I have for you, 

declares the Lord, 

plans for welfare and not for evil, 

to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 ESV

Let go, let God

 

Yesterday in our Women's Bible Study group we talked about Scripture as a "weapon" and that concept just really spoke to me. I thought about all of the times I've been able to reflect on Scripture whenever I've gone through a rough time. I may not have the actual words memorized and I especially can't quote chapter and verse, but enough of the Bible is sinking in now that I can think, "what does the Bible say about this situation?" and come up with an answer. From there I'm able to google it and come up with the exact passage.
     It's been helping me work through different things going on in my life like work stress, stress-stress, and other miscellaneous stress. It seems like so many people are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed, so if nothing else, I'm in good company.
     I was thinking since I'm officially on vacation this week, well, sort of on vacation...it's another staycation but I'm "on-call" for my job in case there's an emergency and someone absolutely has to have their project done right now...(do I sound bitter?) Anyway, I thought I would post the Bible verses and passages that I often turn to in the hopes that it might help others going through what I'm experiencing.
     As you've read here many times, this is my life verse:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV

In other words, give it all up to God. Trust Him and know that He will take care of you. Let Him guide you, your words, and your actions.

Cinco de Mayo

 

Preface: I guess I should apologize if this is too "controversial" for what I'm trying to accomplish here (or maybe it isn't even controversial at all), but I just feel like if we don't call out the inconsistencies in our words and actions that things will never get better. We as Christians are called to be peacemakers. We're called to be images of Christ.

***

     I know I've said this over and over, but it continues to baffle me...in a time when everyone is all up in arms about politically correct speech, there sure seems to be a lot of hate speech that goes overlooked. There's a lot of shouting going on, but no real discussion.

     Today is Cinco de Mayo. I'm guessing a lot of people in the U.S. will be celebrating today, without knowing the significance. They'll go to Mexican restaurants and be cooked for and served by people who came to the U.S. from Mexico. I'm certain a good portion of those diners are the very ones wanting to keep Mexicans out of our country, who see Mexicans as theives, rapists, and murderers, yet they're willing to acknowledge that not all Mexicans are criminals, at least until after they've had their Cinco de Mayo Mexican lunch.

     What we should do is take off the glasses that make us label everyone, that make us see everyone as a stereotype based on skin color. What color was Jesus' skin? Do you think Adam and Eve were white out there in the region that is now Iraq? I doubt it. White-skinned, blonde-haired, blue-eyed people were not and are not God's "chosen." 

     So, at least for today, keep all of that in mind. Notice how hard the Mexicans are working to serve us so that we can celebrate their holiday. Leave a generous tip to show them that you recognize their hard work and the service they provide.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:18 ESV

We are also praying this week for peace and comfort in healing. The specific prayer requests from the Allens:

"Please pray specifically that the graft versus host disease would leave his body. Pray that Jesus would fill Donnie’s lungs with his breath and that he would be able to breathe with no problems. 

Please also pray for me (Amanda) if you would. I have been experiencing great anxiety and not able to eat well. My fears have been getting the best of me. I need to be able to stay healthy and strong so I can be there and good for Donnie." 

Please pray for the physical healing of B.F., M.W., T.F., C.W.

Pray for the mental healing of D. (I don't know her last name, but she desperately needs to seek help for her condition).

Pray for the spiritual healing of all who have been bombarded lately in a battle of spiritual warfare, including L. and C. 

If you would like to add anyone to the list, please send me their first initial, or both and what type of healing they need. God is good. He hears our prayers.

Pray for restored health

This prayer request is from an international missionaries prayer group that I follow. It really tugged at my heart, so I'm asking you to please include Sevgi's* son in your prayers.

For more than two years, you have been asked to pray for Sevgi,* a sister in Christ whose child needs a heart transplant. Last month, when she took her son to the specialists for a routine check-up, it was discovered that his body had retained excess fluid and his heart function, which used to be at 30 percent, had decreased to 22 percent. He was admitted into the hospital. The fluid is now gone, and blood work has been sent off for testing. He had already been put on a list of those awaiting a transplant, but now they have moved him to a more critical list. They are looking for a new heart for him. Please pray for healing however God chooses, and ask that it will cause many others to believe. Please lift up Sevgi, as she has already lost one son due to heart problems when he was in elementary school. (*name changed)

Be bold in your prayers that the Lord will also heal these brothers and sisters:

T.K. high-risk surgery yesterday; large mass on ovary not yet biopsied, complete hysterectomy

A.M. who is recovering from surgery earlier this week

D.A. who is preparing for a bone marrow transplant in the coming weeks; please also pray for his donor.

B.F. who has stage 4 cancer

T.F. who has cancer

S.S. who has pancreatic cancer

J.S. who is recovering from a heart attack and an illness, (update: he is home now to recuperate)

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Romans 5:1-5 ESV
