I thank you LORD for your tender mercies. I thank you for turning all of Martha's sick deliberate clandestine torture, tricks and sabotage into something good. You turned her evil into self discipline, into pride, confidence, fierceness, tenacity, chastity, humbleness, meekness, patience, just blessings.
Martha could have given up her evil sixty, seventy, eighty years ago. She was too selfish, too ignorant, too full of pride, greed and envy. Martha did not study, leaned to her own understanding. "Study to show yourself approved" does not mean simply "look smart", to look the part. It doesn't mean to "show" as in deceive or appear, it means to become. If you are to become knowledgeable concerning a subject, you must study, you must read. You must master that concept as a true scholar.
Far too many people just sound smart repeating something every one else believes. Just because an idea is popular , that doesn't make it right. Most people thought the world was flat when Columbus thought it was round.
"Wide is the road that leads to death and destruction. Narrow is the path of righteousness ." A lot of racists are going to bust hell wide open. Falsely believing they did everything right. They attended "church" religiously. (Pun intended) They didn't drink, curse or smoke. Didn't cheat on their spouses. But they didn't have charity. Charity is love. It is the opposite of being jealous, of envy, of blessing blocking.
Far too many people block blessings. Far too many people hate other other people because they have been taught to. Far too many people are still racist, prejudice, ignorant. Far too many people pre-judge others, make false assumptions, spew hateful words and solutions.
My mother pre-judged me. Tried her best to ruin me on the sly, covertly. GOD said no!
Praise the LORD!
