Reading: 1 Peter 2:24-25: "He Himself carried our sins in His body on the cross so that we would be dead to sin and live for righteousness. Our instant healing flowed from His wounding. You were like sheep that continually wandered away, but now you have returned to the true Shepherd of your lives--the kind of Guardian who lovingly watches over your souls."
Righteousness
How easily can our understanding of righteousness be twisted, or confusing, in our world where we are daily bombarded with false information or purposes. And sometimes share like the telephone game that gets a word changed when it passes from one to another. So that even the innocent may become a false messenger.
And righteousness to one person may be completely opposite to the Lord's truth.
We become so sure we know the real truth that we dismiss examining--praying for clarity--ignoring warnings.
So we can often wander away into our own personal versions of lost sheep.
Lord, we ask You to show us how to recognize any barriers that have been raised against your truth, and show us how to dissolve them. Please guide our steps moment by moment to be centered on Your guidance only.
Your thoughts,
