Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Cornered
June 26, 2012

One Sunday morning, D. L. Moody entered a house in Chicago to escort some children to Sunday school. During his visit, three men backed him into a corner and threatened him. “Look here,” Moody said. “Give a fellow a chance to say his prayers, won’t you?” The men actually allowed him to call out to God, and Moody prayed for them so earnestly that they left the room.

Had I been in Moody’s situation, I might have called for help or looked for the back door. I’m not sure I would have acted on Jesus’ command to His followers: “Pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:28 NIV).

Praying for the people who treat us with contempt is one way to “do good to those who hate [us]” (v.27). Jesus explained that Christians get no credit for swapping acts of kindness with other “nice” people. He said, “Even sinners do the same” (v.33). However, blessing our persecutors (Rom. 12:14) sets us apart from them and aligns us with the Most High, because God is kind even to wicked people (Luke 6:35).

Today, if you feel “cornered” by someone, seek safety if the situation calls for it, and follow Jesus’ teaching: Pray for that person (Luke 23:34). Prayer is your best defense.

We want to know Your heart, Lord, and have Your
wisdom to know how to handle opposition.
Give us patience to show kindness.
Guide us, we pray.

Returning good for good is human; returning good for evil is divine.

Read: Luke 6:27-36

Pray for those who spitefully use you. —Luke 6:28

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 97-99

Good news and good weather are a rarity these days. But the reality is that if there wasn't bad news and inclement weather there wouldn't be any news at all.

My father was stationed at Ft. Riley when I was a kid. I don’t know how many hours I spent running around the Cavalry Museum - it was just a short walk up Forsyth Ave. and across the parade ground.

The best recorded first case of the 1918 flu pandemic occurred in Ft. Riley, KS.

[Migraine]

I was at Ft. Riley in 1967. June-July was a real swelter-pot. My fatigue shirt was crusty-white from salty perspiration every day. They used to give out directives to make everyone take lots of salt tablets to avoid heat stroke, etc. Conventional wisdom nowadays is that was a bad idea. I’m still not sure about it.

Thanks very much, Biglook! The children have kindly consented to allow us to live with them for another year! Wait a minute - what's wrong with this picture?

THE TORCH IS PASSED

“Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans - born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage - and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

President John F. Kennedy, 20Jan1961
