For some reason your story reminded me this one where Abigail stopped David's anger and course of revenge...
1sa 25:21 | Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good. |
1sa 25:22 | So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. |
1sa 25:23 | And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, |
1sa 25:24 | And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid. |
1sa 25:25 | Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. |
1sa 25:26 | Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. |
1sa 25:27 | And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord. |
1sa 25:28 | I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. |
1sa 25:29 | Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. |
1sa 25:30 | And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel; |
1sa 25:31 | That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid. |
1sa 25:32 | And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: |
1sa 25:33 | And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. |
1sa 25:34 | For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. |
Seeing ourselves and our own misdeeds is too often done after the fact. God wants us to be paying attention to Him and His Way, His Word, all of the time. As with David, repentance is good, but would it not have been better to have done it right so as not to need to repent? Help us dear Lord!
I have loved Philemon since I began to understand what the story is really about.
what i say next , type next will cause fear in the hearts of some and great anger in the hearts of some
it will also rejoice the hearts of some .
Brace yourself friend because many are being lulled into a huge deception .
These words are not against anyone they are only to help all .
Satan can quoate any scripture verbatum . SO marvel not that he can say GOD is love , that GOD does not desire the death
of any . I say the same myself . BUT beware for when he and his men say it they gonna point to A LIE .
While when i , by grace , say it i will use it to point ONLY to the TRUTH .
Ready .
Now think deeply on this and pray feverently about this .
Satans version . GOD is love , GOD does not desire the death of any , So no matter what one believes
in the end THEY WONT PERISH , they wont be damned .
THE TRUE VERSION and HOW IT SHOULD BE USED IS THIS right here my friend , GOD IS LOVE
GOD does not desire the death of any , ITS WHY HE SENT THE SON SO THAT ALL WHO DO BELEIVE BELEIVE BELEIVE
in HIM WOULD NOT PERISH but have Everlasting life .
ONE VERSION POINTS TO DEATH , THE OTHER TO LIFE . AND YET THE same scrips were used . SATAN IS SLICK .
but the lambs DONT HEED HIM
