Walking faithfully and loving.


Joshua 22:21
And Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to Reuben, Gad and Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD is with us, because you have not acted unfaithfully toward the LORD in this matter. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the LORD's hand."

It is a joy to hear that our loved ones, friends, and co-believers are truly walking faithfully in the Lord. We get disappointed and embarassed when we know they are not doing as good as they should and vice verse with us as well. It was a mistake what the Israelite heard about the altar that other tribes built. They didn't build it because they want to serve another God, but it was for another reason. Let us not be judgmental towards people who we think arent doing very good in the race of life. We can be loving, caring and encouraging to those who actually mean good. Let us continue to walk faithfully in the Lord that others may also be encouraged and praise GOD for it.

I will be loving to others and walking faithfully in the Lord that people may praise my Father in heaven for what I am doing for His glory.

God, let me walk in you day by day. Please give me a loving heart... always encouraging and not judging others for what they do outwardly. Help me to see them deep inside, what they really feel and desire. I pray that you give me a heart that is just like yours - loving and caring to the needs of others. Make me a blessing today. Amen.
