Do not be stubborn

Like a small child.

Who will not take “No” for an answer.

Grimaced face, crossed arms in front, stomped foot on the ground.

”I want more.”

The child knows, as a child of God that the Master knows. Best.

More of the good stuff is always worth the stomp fight. A small child simply doesn’t know how to properly pray and ask just yet.

Good stuff:

Kindness

Helper

Listener

Servant

Bad stuff:

Ignorance

Ignore

Greed

Taker

”He was faithful to God, who chose him to do this work, just as Moses was faithful in his work in God’s whole house.

God’s whole house.

A man who builds a house receives more honor than the house itself. In the same way, Jesus is worthy of much more glory than Moses. “Every house, of course, is built by someone—and God is the one who has built all things. “Moses was faithful in God’s whole house as a servant, and spoke of the things that God would say in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son in charge of God’s house. We are his house, if we keep our courage and confidence in what we hope for. (Gnfmm)

If we keep our courage and confidence in what we hope for.

”A Rest for God’s People”

So then, as the Holy Spirit says,

If you hear God’s voice today,

do not be stubborn as you were when you rebelled against God,

as you were that day in the desert when you put him to the test.

There your ancestors put me to the test and tried me, says God

even though they saw what I did for forty years.

For that reason I was angry with those people and said,

They are always disloyal,

and refuse to obey my commands.”

”I was angry and made a solemn promise:

They shall never come in and rest with me.”

”My brothers and sisters, be careful that no one among you has a heart so bad and unbelieving that he will turn away from the living God.”

“Instead, in order that none of you be deceived by sin and become stubborn, you must help one another every day, as long as the “Today” in the scripture applies to us.

”For we are all partners with Christ, if we hold firmly to the end the confidence we had in the beginning.”

This is what scripture says:

If you hear God’s voice today,

do not be stubborn as you were

when you rebelled against God.

Like a small child who will not take “No” for an answer.

Even when weary and tired, give more of yourself.

You can.

It matters.

”Live beyond the letter of Commandment”. (pf) Aspire to maximum possibilities as servant to others. Never be satisfied with doing less for others.

There is no such thing as a small act of kindness.😃

One does not have to serve God the Master. One must dig deep for the innocence of a child when service to others requires us to think and pray like a child OF God the Master.

The difference is a release of the stubborn rebellion of being “right”.

I am right and you are wrong.

Ask yourself:

In the end does it really matter?

Lest you mistakenly think you are “off the hook”.

Make no mistake, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law.” Indeed, I have come to fulfill the law. Not fulfillment in the sense of “Hey gotcha”. But fulfillment in the sense of reconciliation of the right to offer the task of not hurting one another. To not hurt each other with words. (pf) To intentionally or mistakenly hurt each other in our deeds or actions.

This is a very important right.

The offering right.

It is the offering of oneself in service to others.

Even if and when one does not “feel like it”—grimaced face, arms crossed, stomped foot on the ground.

You see, we are all capable of giving more good of ourselves to others.

Take the first step for reconciliation. Jesus makes us understand religious rules are necessary.

Live their meaning.

”You may think”, “ I have not killed, I have not stolen”. I am good.

No.

Set your personal bar higher for yourself in the following of religious rules, and then give more or yourself in service to others..

A win-win.

Grow in love in God and others. In your faith. In your charity.

Jesus miracles have gone before us—The blind to see, the lame to walk again. They may actually remain stay seated, on the ground, thinking of themselves to weak and frail. Offer your hand, give them the courage and confidence to know that they can.

Walk again.

Next to you.

Alone.

Onward.

Leave the calculations behind.

Leave the tests of one another to the Lord.

”Testing and Tempting”

Happy is the man who remains faithful under trials, because when he succeeds in passing the test he will receive as his reward the life which God has promised to those who love him. If a man is tempted by such testing, he must not say, “This temptation comes from God. For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But a person is tempted when he is drawn away and trapped by his own evil desire. (james)

Then his evil desire conceives and gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.

Sin when it is full grown, gives birth to death.😳

Once must turn away from this kind of sin and death. Do not kill. Fulfill oneself in service to others without the acts of hypocrisy of “not enough”

Be as innocent as a child.

Grimaced face, arms crossed in front, stomped foot and say

No.

You are enough. Your words, deeds and actions when not stubbornly expressed are the path to fulfillment to your duty to your family, friends and fellow man, fellow beings.

Each and every day, offer your right to offer the best of you that you can. Fully. Freely. Purely.
