Wig’s Word of God Today 2-26-2013
Enjoy today’s study in a podcast at www.cruz-wiggins.com
Washing others clean by service we can become everything God wants us to be.
Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil; learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow. Isaiah 1:16-17
The greatest among you must be your servant. Matthew 23:11
Isaiah 1:10-20, Psalm 50 & Matthew 23:1-12
Learning to be the servant to others is the beginning of serving Christ’s charity in faith, hope and love allowing a closer union to God’s Purpose more than any other act of worship. To worship God in service requires the love of sharing how Truth has overcome the desires of self-centeredness, lust of flesh and the loss of sensitivity of being ridiculed. Instead of hearing people say, “How can you talk to someone so dirty?,” we must say to ourselves how can we not help someone in need. Instead of allowing families to steal family time in service allow the service to be God’s time of unity by your family’s example of Capable Cross-bearing Courage. “Cease doing evil; learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow.” Amen.
In our world of fast-paced desires we must learn to slow down and let God be God while embracing the arm of assistance to serve the lost, lonely and languished in the rinsing of Truth created by the act of charity itself. “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” I pray people will join me daily in searching for divine ways to live in service by the brevity of my words. Let us trust in one of the prayers my wife and I say daily, “May the Divine Assistance remain always with us” by our practice, prayer and preaching. By washing ourselves and others clean in service we can become everything God wants us to be seeking His grace protecting His blessing. Amen.
We ask in prayer: Dear God above, we pray today we learn to do good by the service we carry out in Your Name. Praying a 4-day countdown to Carolina Emmaus #2. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. LORD, make us children of service. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
Thomas Cruz†Wiggins
†Spirit led God inspired Christ fed†
Romans 8:28
Exalted by the humility of Christ served terms– Matthew 23:1-12
Speaking to the crowds
The Disciples listened in too
Scribes and Pharisee sit in Moses’ chair
Observe all things they ask you to do
Be courteous in your response
But follow not their example
Practicing to preach
Trusting God as ample
For they preach and do not practice
Heavy burdens they tie up for you to carry
On the shoulders of the people they’ve given
Not lifting a finger to help you marry
Yourselves to God as should be fulfilled
Not works that is righteous to be seen
Taking seats of honor tassels too long
Seeking salutation of Rabbi none to clean
Be called Rabbi not by fellow men
There is only Teacher to begin
Not someone called master to grin
Only One Christ from Heaven to win
If you are so great fall down and serve
The servant of the lowly will be observed
Humbled if exalted learned terms
Exalted by the humility of Christ served terms
