Wig’s Word of God Today 10-24-2010
“For He is a God of justice, who knows no favorites.” Sirach 35:12 “for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:14b
Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18, Psalm 34:2-3, 17-18, 19, 23, 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 & Luke 18:9-14
All servants of God must be humble at heart yet confident in their knowledge of God’s Promise through practice, prayer and proclamation. The lowly of the low in Saints mingled with the lowest of the low in the populations be it homeless dying people to diseased people in the streets who had no one to care for them, they were embraced by the Saints who believed Jesus Christ saved the world from sin. They modeled Christ’s compassion, His Strength and His Love. They lived a life of humble devotion to the less fortunate yet were confident in their apostleship because of Christ Jesus. Not a favorite of God, a humble servant who chose to live each moment in a relationship with the Savior of the World. Do you serve the less fortunate with confidence by your relationship with Jesus?
The race for Paul wasn’t finished yet. He was full of disgust because people weren’t rallying around him for God like he expected. He urged Timothy to protect The Word against false teachers and be mindful of God’s Plan for Humanity. He was confident yet humble. When the things of this world become less important than your love of God, the glory of the Lord is your only concern. It’s when He reveals Himself to you that you become like mist in the air, floating with the Holy Spirit as He gives you His Eternal embrace. I always tell the children in my class to take ownership of themselves and not to worry about what other kids are doing to show how they can model good behavior. Do you model good behavior in serving the Lord by caring for your own self and not worrying or gossiping about others? We all can show such a love for loving Christ by our acts of faith, hope, charity and love. Be Good for the Good Sheppard Who brought humanity the Good News.
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, I pray this day is filled with Your Glory. Teach us to be humble yet confident in our proclamation of You. Our joy is to exalt You Lord. I ask nothing in return because You provide all that I need. We pray for continued hope, faith, charity and love. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
Pray the Prayer of Sinners Release
Justice comes from God
Everyone is a favorite
Who Glorifies Him
Repenting from hate
Willingly serve the lowly
Share His Truth with sinners galore
Embrace the sick and dying
Void the fright satan’s spore
The poor can whisper
Dying sounds of grace
The Lord hears and answers
Salvation of Christ’s embrace
Redemption is for the taking
Brokenness can worship too
His Glory we will worship
Surrender to His Plan Eternal to do
I long to hold the arms of God
My revelation has been told
I was made to seek His Glory
Of same I proclaim so bold
Two go in to pray
One prays to himself
The other admits guilt
Only one humbled his pride’s self
Pray the prayer of sinners release
Lowly and holy you will learn to be
Accepting Christ’s Salvation taste
Forgiveness granted not to waste
