Let's take a breath!

"Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for some thereby have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'" (Hebrews 13:1-6)

Let's take a breath! That's a big chunk of Scripture! Actually it's the refreshing reality check of the Holy Spirit!

The resurrected Savior did say "Lo, I am with you always!" So between now and Christ's second coming, the Holy Spirit can move us to love the brother but not forget the stranger, "see" the reality of angels serving us, temper our judgmental leanings, risk helping those distressed, honor the spouse, learn to be content with whatever resources, and luxuriate in the fact that "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

Blessings!
