Psalm 63: "I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely." (Verse 8 NLT)

As a young child, I was extremely scared of people wearing masks or dressed up in costumes. When we went as a family to Disney World, I dreaded the characters coming out to visit. As soon as a character headed our way, I would dive towards my mom clinging to her legs and hands. My parents would try talking to me, explaining that they were just people dressed up in costumes. But that brought me no comfort, I would just cling harder to my mom. I knew that she would protect me from the big bad characters.

As a Christian, I have that same confidence (even more so) that Jesus will protect me from any “bad character” or situation. If I start to worry, get fearful or am uncomfortable in a relationship or circumstance, I cling to the Lord. Knowing He will keep me safe. He will hold me securely. While my relationship/circumstance might not change immediately clinging to Him will bring me peace in the midst of what is going on.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11; Psalm 98; Acts 8:26-40; Luke 11:1-13

Matthew13:36-43: "Whoever has ears, let them hear." (Verse 43b)

Not everyone will get it. It was true more than 2,000 years ago and it is still true today. If there has been one theme running through the passages this week, it is that we must open our minds to hear and receive God’s ways. We often don’t, even as believers. Like David, we can sin. But like hm, we are also called to repent and return.

Christ died on the cross and carried our sins so we can have the grace of forgiveness. But we have our role to play as well. It is not given carte blanche. How prepared is your soil this week? Has it been fertilized with God’s Word? Has the soft rains of mercy fallen on it? Or are there hard clumps of doubt, sin, and faith-drought that are preventing God’s blessings from taking root?

Whoever has ears, let them hear also implies that they should then respond to what they have heard and been taught through Scripture. Faith, like love, is not an emotion. It is a verb.

Proverbs 25:15-28; Psalm 30, 32; 1 Timothy 6:6-21

1 Timothy 5:17-25: "But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning. (Verse 20)

Teachers and preachers who know God’s ways and practice them receive a double honor. They are examples for newer Christians to follow, and they receive God’s favor as well. But if one in authority falls from grace, that person needs to be reprimanded in front of and by his or her peers. Transparency is key.

We have all seen or heard news reports of pastors, priests, and ministers who have committed heinous acts then tried to cover them up. Glen C. Taylor, a Canadian psychologist and pastor, wrote
Fruitful Boughs Broken, a book that provides biblical examples of how those in leadership who have sinned should be treated within the Body of Christ, some based on these passages in 1 Timothy. Both victim and offender need help.

We are all human — we all fall short, as Paul states in Romans. There must be an opening for repentance as well as reprimand, counseling as well as rebuke. When resulting actions are both punitive and grace-filled, the whole Body of believers benefit and healing begins.

Proverbs 23:19-21, 29—24:2; Psalm 31; Matthew 13:31-35
