Scripture: And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. Jude 1:22-23 NLT Application: We're saved. But we don't just wait on our ultimate glory to materialize. We have a desire to help others, too. Some only need gentle encouragement. Others require emergency rescuing from the flames of the burning torment of the flesh. But the latter is a delicate mission: Although their fleshly fire will not destroy us, we can become singed. That's because we are still fleshly beings. Our outer garments are fire retardant, not fire proof. So, in order to stay strong in our in faith, we shouldn't entertain the lusts of the flesh like the people we want to help. Counsel them, but don't become them. Prayer: What an honor it is to be Your body on earth, dear Lord! As we go about our personal service, keep us safe and unsinged from the evils of this world. Amen. Comments are closed.
