"Woe
to those who scheme iniquity, who work out evil on their beds! When morning comes, they do it, for it is in the
power of their hands. They covet fields and
then seize them, and houses, and take them away, they rob a man and his house, a
man and his inheritance." Micah 2:1-2
In I Kings 21:1-15, king Ahab plotted against his neighbor because
he wanted his garden. So King Ahab had his
wife Jezebel have the neighbor killed, using power and might, means and motive to
get what he so desired. When something fills
our thoughts and becomes our focus it rules us.
"'Do
not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rush destroy and
where thieves break in and steal. but lay
up for yourselves treasures in heaven, whee neither moth nor rust destroys, and
where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your
heart be also.'" Matthew 6:19-21
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
Darlene
