Let Not The Sun Go Down On Your Wrath

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Neither give place to the devil.

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

                                                                                            (Eph 4:26-32 KJV)

Every time I hear or read George Floyd's name mentioned in conjunction with the ongoing unrest or riots, I cringe. That, in itself, is an injustice to his memory. George Floyd was a victim. By reports of friends and family members he was an active Christian. He did not incite any violence against his neighbors or this country. Yet, his name is being used to incite and condone it.

We all should be upset and even angry about his death. But, we should not be involved in anything that would condone the destruction and theft of property that belongs to others. We should not in any way condone actions that cause bodily harm or death to others.

Be kind to one another and live in peace!

God's Peace - Pr. J.
