Blessed God O my soul, and forget not all of Gods benefits, Who forgives all of your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases. Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption. Who beautifies, dignifies and crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercy.
Psalm 103:2-4
God we need and seek your healing for those things that are trying to invade our bodies. Sickness, bone spurs, upset stomachs, cancer, and the likes ... are no match for You. We give thanks today for your tender mercy of healing.

Whoever speaks, [let them do it as one who utters] oracles of God; whoever renders service, do it as with the strength which God furnishes abundantly, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ (The Messiah).

Be ever mindful of the days gone by in which, after you were first spiritually enlightened, you endured a great and painful struggle. (32) Do not, therefore fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. (35)
Hebrews 10:32 and 35
Spiritual struggles will bring glorious compensation. We have the choice to do better or to stay stuck in fear. We have the choice to project our fears out to others or keep growing even when it is painful. You who have been spiritually enlightened are encouraged to be the positive examples and yet many leave, or run away because it is a great challenge to stay. Don't let fear of difference run you away from God, your church, your life!

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Colossians 4:5
Living in wisdom does not happen by accident. There are many opportunities for us to use Godly wisdom instead of 'acting' out. Instead of using discretion we get side tracked by criticism and judgement. I have been told you are either part of the problem or part of the solution ... Using wisdom helps us live in the solutions of life. I believe we must take advantage of every situation to live and move and have our being in the way of Godly wisdom. How can you do better in this area of your life?
