Thought For Today

And He (Jesus) said to them, “Go and tell that fox (Herod), ‘Behold I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.  Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet shall perish away from Jerusalem .’
Luke 13:32, 33

Lord Your calling was so profound that You could even call Herod a fox.

I can hear my mother’s voice saying, ‘If you can’t say something nice don’t say it.’  I can then hear my own voice echo those same words to my son.

And yet You called Herod a fox.

A fox comes sneeking into the hen house to kill the chickens and eat them.

You saw Herod’s heart.   You knew his thoughts and desire.  He was not on Your side.

Thank You Lord for exposing those that are there to destroy.

Thank You for exposing the deceipt in our own hearts when we try and hid it from You.

Thank You for the peace that getting rid of the things that are not pleaseing to You brings us.

Thank You for the joy of forgiveness.

Thank You Lord.
