when i saw what the topic for today's Five Minute Friday link-up was, i had to laugh. Agree? This day has been full of disagreeable things! i want to DISagree! Loudly! i want to lay down in the middle of the road and whine about all the petty little things that have gone wrong so far, and it's only 9:34.
okay, so probably not how a child of God should act. maybe. what does God have to say about the word agree, then? Peter told the church
this same Peter, the rough fisherman whom Jesus once told to sit down and be quiet. hmmm.
and then i read what Ann has to say from Africa http://annvoskamp.com/2018/02/how-to-not-get-duped-into-living-the-fake-beatitudes-how-a-kid-in-africa-unexpectedly-moves-the-world-to-the-attitude-of-the-genuine-beatitudes/ okay Lord. i hear You.
and i agree :)

...All of you should agree and have concern and love for each other. You should also be kind and humble. 1 Peter 3:8

I'm pretty sure January has been like this for half the world! Thank you for sharing what God is teaching you through the word. I love that verse and have glossed over it before. But I'm going to copy it down. Thanks! Visiting from FMF in the spot after you.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for visiting! FMF is such a fun community
DeleteI had the same kind of day yesterday and sure didn’t feel kind and humble. Thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteit's the "simple" things that we find the most difficult, isn't it?
DeleteBut if we remember to agree with Christ, no matter the day, we will find peace again.
