Thought For Today: Wednesday, July 17
Maturity does not always come with age. Maturity is deeper than age. It is the way you see and understand things. The way you consider others. The way you communicate. The way you react. The things you value. The things you entertain. The way you represent yourself and others as a believer. Remember, everyone grows old, BUT not everyone is growing up.
I re-injured my dominant shoulder in jan during the three weeks of snow storms. I havent been able to control myself not to use it, so it hasnt healed much. I just started pt yesterday, but theyre still talking surgery, which means 6 weeks not using it at all, and not driving or taking care of myself up to six months. I ask you for encouragement and prayers that I can do the pt and avoid surgery. I have high confidence in my therapist. She fixed it 12 years ago, 8 years after the initial injury. She is not as hopeful this time because I have many little tears in the rotator cuff and other, ligament, connections. I started an nsaid which contains two nsaids Im highly allergic to and may cause another heart attack. I was having to increase the hydrocodone to two or three per day though. I have only taken the nsaid today, and the pain is tolerable as long as I dont try to do my second session of at home exercises for the day. I know some of you are wonderful prayer warriors! Thank you if you keep me in mind for the next six weeks at least. I trust Yah to heal me, I just dont know whats in store for the rest of the year. Shalom, and may Yah bless you!
In Matthew 5, Yeshua quotes both Torah and tradition. "You have heard it said..." For example, Matthew 5:43 is NOT a quote from Torah. "Hate your enemy" is nowhere in Scripture.
Sometimes, God's remedies look like hate but are the most merciful option possible. Death is a terrible thing, but, like amputation, sometimes it's for the best. Consider Midian. But those are exceptions, not the rule. "Love your enemy" must be our default. Whenever you are unsure of how to treat an enemy, err on the side of mercy and kindness. Always be ready to forgive. People often do hateful things from fear, pain, or confusion. Don't react hastily.

During his teaching ministry on earth, Yeshua corrected many man-made traditions that corrupted God's instructions. He never taught contrary to Moses or told anyone not to keep #torah. He repudiated bad interpretations of Moses, never the actual teachings of Moses.

I teach my children that maturity is measured by the time it takes to admit you were wrong or ask forgiveness. The shorter the time, the more mature a person is.
This is visible in young people wanting to be right and will stand their ground even when they are proven to be wrong. The contrary is a person who is secure in themselves will quickly ask forgiveness when they are wrong.
