God’s law! The first four deal with our relationship with God! The other six deal with our relationship with our fellow man! Notice what comes first, our relationship with God! Get the vertical relationship correct and then the horizontal relationships will be correct! Our society’s lack of relationship with God is producing horrible relationships with our fellow man! I’ll summarize in my own words. You then ask how you’re doing? Honor... (don’t be a burden) Don’t murder... (stop killing each other) Stay faithful to your spouse... (stop cheating, sleeping around etc) Don’t steal... (loot, borrow and not return, take what isn’t yours, beat your bills) Don’t lie...( share fake stories, make stuff up, accuse others to make yourself look better) Don’t be so jealous of what others have... (stop looking at others and wish you had what they have.) If you’re struggling with any of those. Maybe just maybe your relationship with God is suffering and you need to work on that!
The Value of human life is being eradicated before our eyes. The amount of death that is being portrayed daily is causing us to be desensitized to the brutality that exists. Without a doubt what happened in Minneapolis is brutality. The prejudice that exists is spiraling out of control. As we prejudge (prejudice) people due to videos, social media, upbringing, and the mantra of political drumbeats, we become fearful of one another, based on the prejudice. Fear will cause you to overreact. There is massive overreactions happening due to prejudice. A systemic prejudice produces racism. You now discriminate, base your decisions on, or antagonize because of the prejudice you have made. I read the comments under the posts of others, under the videos that are posted, it’s troubling. All I can say is, God help us, if we are that calloused as a society to watch people die and then justify it based on our prejudice. We have to stop this. The Bible is Clear Blessed are the Peacemakers. We have to make peace. A concerted effort happens to make something. We need a concerted effort to make peace. Martin Luther King said He dreamed of a day that content of character would be the basis of judgement and not the color of skin. To be able know the content of someones character who have to get to know them, individually. That is where we make peace, we have to know one another individually. I know that I desire for people to judge me based on the content of my character, and not what they have been lead to believe. I believe that every person deserves that right.

Let’s pray... Father, I pray according to 1 Timothy 2:1-3 which says, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” I pray, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, for our governor, the speaker of the house , all the Committee members and the senators and representatives of the Legislature to receive the wisdom of God, to act in obedience to that wisdom and for the power of God to flow in their lives. I pray that their hearts are turned towards you! May they act in wisdom, grace and mercy! May every decision be ordained by Your Spirit!
Let’s pray... One thing I ask from the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock... I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD” So Lord teach me to wait upon you! May my heart be ever towards you! May my mind and my heart be settled in knowing that You, will hide me and shelter me in the midst of every storm! (Psalm 27:4-5; 13-14)
