Observe what is Right, Do what is Just

PAVILION ENCLOSURE - REINSTALLATION OF GRILLES

Thus says the Lord: 
Observe what is right, do what is just; 
for my salvation is about to come, 
my justice, about to be revealed. 
ISAIAH 56 : 1


Jesus said: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother" (Mt 18:15). Whatever you do or undertake has its own consequences that can either lead you to attaining full joy and satistfaction or suffering great distress. 

"Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Mt 18:18). By the Lord's wisdom and intelligence He made you rich and have put a great deal of financial resources into your treasury. By His great wisdom applied to your trading you have heaped up your riches. Do not allow your heart to grown haughty from your riches but instead remain humble, acknowledging that all that you are and all that you have comes from the Lord. 

"If two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Mt 18:19-20) The Lord will never impose Himself upon you nor force you to be obedient to His commandments. He has given you the freedom of choice and allowed you to either rise or fall from your decisions. 

Each moment of your life, God is with you, always ready to give you whatever you need. There is no other way that leads to peace and security than to love the Lord and serve Him alone. Surely, the Lord shall do justice for His people; on His servants He shall have pity (Dt 32:36).

You are a man, and not a god, however you may think yourself like a god. Only the Lord you God can save you from the destructive and devastating power of sin only if you allow Him to do so. Relinquish your evil practices or stubborn conduct otherwise you will relapse and do worse. 

Blessed be God who filled my soul with fire! How tremendous are Your deeds! (Ps 66:3)
