just when i have no words, and dont know where to turn, God's word always holds truth. always. God is truth, and His word is a collection of His promises. there are some hard truths, and some relieving truths. truths that encourage, inspire, humble, help, challenge, energize, and direct. God always speaks through His word. His word never returns void. i am so thankful for His Word. this morning, while reading for my daily quiet time (i've been reading through john and romans), i came across this passage, and it reminded me how thankful i am for the truth of scripture.
"as for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions...who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? it is before his own master that he stands or falls. and he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand...why do you pass judgement on your brother? or you, why do you despise your brother? for we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, as i live says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. so then each of use will give an account of himself to God. therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother...for the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. whoever thus serves Chris is acceptable to God and approved by men. so then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding...." - romans 14
