SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 05-22-04
My Worship Time Focus: Personal
Messages
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference:
2John 12-13
Message of the verse: “12 Having many things to write to you, I do
not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face
to face, that your joy may be made full. 13 The children of your chosen sister
greet you.” (NASB)
The thought comes to me that perhaps one of the reasons
that John did not want to write was that the letter could get into the wrong
hands, but I think the main reason that he did had more things to tell them but
that it would be better to say it to them in person. When things are said in person then it is
less likely to get thing mixed up.
Verse 13 could have the meaning of a relative or it could
mean that John was speaking of churches, for many times the Church is referred
to as being a female.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Communication is being written about here,
and it is good that I make good practices of communication with brothers and
sisters in Christ.
The Word of God did bring
conviction to my heart this morning.
My Steps of Faith Today: To trust the Lord with the things that are
going on in my life at this time, as none of them seem to be good for us, but I
must believe the promises of God.
Memory verses for the
week: 1Corinthians 13:1
If I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a
clanging cymbal.
