Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter.

From Ephesians 4:31-32:  “Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.”

Live as though Christ died yesterday, rose from the grave today, and is coming back tomorrow.

From Matthew 24:29-31:  “Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.  Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see ‘the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven’ with power and great glory.  And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

God’s call is expressive of His nature; consequently when I receive His nature and hear His call, the voice of the Divine nature sounds in both and the two work together.  The Son of God reveals Himself in me, and I serve Him in the ordinary ways of life out of devotion to Him.

From Galatians 1:15-16:  “But when God, who had set me apart before I was born and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me, so that I might proclaim Him among the Gentiles.”

Notice that we must ask.  And we will sometimes struggle to hear and struggle with what we hear.  But personally, it’s worth it.  I’m after the path of life–and He alone knows it.

From James 1:5-6:  “If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given to you.”

In this life, if you have anything to pardon, pardon quickly.  Slow forgiveness is little better than no forgiveness.

From James 3:17-18:  “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.  And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.”
