The Soul's Desires

Hello Friendly People,


Micah 6
V 8 He has told you , O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?


Micah 7
V3 Concerning evil, both hands do it well. The prince asks, also the judge, for a bribe, and a great man speaks the desire of his soul; so they weave it together.
V7 But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. 


2 Peter 1
V3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
V5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and in your goodness knowledge; 
V 6 and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness;
V7 and in your godliness brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness love.
V8 for if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
V9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind and short sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. 

   We look at the world we live in and the sin is unfathomable. Like this scripture says, the leaders can be bought with a price. Great men are found lacking morality with no shame to the needs of their soul. I was pondering my life in light of this scripture and solidly convinced myself I wouldn't sway even for money, but then, the soul issue of the verse blind-sighted me. The Lord requires of us, that we do justice, love kindness, walk humbly with our God. Sadly though, I have failed, as have we all. That soul cries out to be fed and, oh, what an appetite it has if it is not denied and whipped into submission. 
   I was so embarrassed at myself to recollect the silly, fleshy things I say to my children, my spouse and others. If I was caught on tape............
    I believe our time on this earth is very short, please pray along with me that we quit feeding our flesh and get on with the kingdom business. No condemnation here, God will always allow us to rise again, to try again!
