"Timber"

Jesus said in Matthew 7, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." God's judgment is certainly exact and to the heart of the matter. Fruitless trees are cut down and thrown into the fire. Can we hear the cries of "timber" coming from those whom God has assigned as the lumberjacks. Remember judgement does begin at the house of God.

Peace

Psalm 37: 37 says, "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace." Where does that peace come from? Philippians 4: 6,7 tells us this, "Be careful for nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Even a young child knows enough to cry out for help. Lord help us, we pray and thank you for the peace.
