People Who Look for Problems to be Able to Gossip

Amen! I know of many people who are looking for problems where none exist because some how it elevates themselves in their own minds!

"The Bible is a mirror, not a window. Stop using it to evaluate everyone else and examine yourself." Felix Masesi

I have had people judge my wall hangings, whether or not I purchased a particular cell phone holder, my boldness about the truth, the way I dress, which food I eat, and much more in their effort to make me seem foolish. But it didn't stop there, they passed on their judgments to others who believed them. This is the plight of the born-again believer, those who love their own ways and do not trust Christ will attack overtly and covertly those who love the principles and commands of Christ.

These same people who say they follow the Bible but ignore most of it will accuse us of things that are not true, and causing others to follow their lead, but will not judge themselves and will never expose their own sins and flaws.

When I warned people about the truth out of love for them, I was gossiped about and demeaned as though I had done something wrong.

Ezekiel 3:18 "When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand."

This principle applies to believers who are about to defy the word of God. The believer will not lose their salvation but they will bring upon themselves trials they never thought of, for disobeying God. Or, for not seeking Christ preferring their own thoughts and ways above God's

The mind is the devil's playground for arrogant and self-righteous people. He places thoughts in the mind convincing them of things that are not true just as he did in the garden with Eve. He gossiped to Eve that God was bad and that she did not have to respect Him. She listened to the gossip and began disrespecting Him without regard to Who He was, the very God Who created her.

1 Peter 5:8-9 "8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.…"

Do not become agitated by this mistreatment, walk on down the road and leave behind those who do not love you. These people want you around so they can further abuse you.

Remember the saying; "they invite you to the party so you can see them ignoring you?" Be satisfied to be ignored from afar, no need to go where sinful people gather to disrespect you.
