1 Samuel 15:24-35
24 Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned,
for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words,
because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me that I may bow before the Lord.”
26 And Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you.
For you have rejected the word of the Lord,
and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
27 As Samuel turned to go away, Saul seized the skirt of his robe, and it tore. 28 And Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. 29 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret.”
30 Then he said, “I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may bow before the Lord your God.” 31 So Samuel turned back after Saul, and Saul bowed before the Lord.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites.” And Agag came to him cheerfully.
Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 And Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.”
And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went
up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.
35 And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the Lord regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
that the man of God may be competent,
equipped for every good work.
The verses are about looting and violence. Now, looking at crime, we have gone past buildings and cars and property and find violence has turned - to murder. Some cities have tremendously increasing murder rates over 130%. 83% and 55% in other cities.
Most victims are Minorities. Murder in daylight.
Galatians 5:20b-21a
Hopelessness occurs when staying away from any of God's Love
Enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness
All of Scripture has a purpose. We find the season and draw meaningful life with wisdom. God is not a God of false subjugation - God of healing for Abundant Life. To look at what is pure and see purity. To see what is wrong, to address and stop evil. We cannot say racism and ignore murders in minority areas.
Reject pandering. Embrace the whole issue.
God is directly and efficient and on point - telling us how to Please God.
Micah 6:8
- Give Justice
- Give Justice with Mercy
- Give Justice with Mercy and Journey with God with Humility.
- Humility is the ability to admit wrong, see sin and change direction to Pleasing God.
God is always Goodness. He begins with what is Important and Lifts us UP.
God is not oppressive.
Frederick Douglass
Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood,
and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls,
for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.
When we see an increase in murder are we seeing Vigilantes?
Vigilantes are to be rejected for being wrong and inept. Vigilantes - Lead to more violence.
This Scripture is about justice, violence and hopelessness.
Vigilante problems occur when we bind up Justice Abilities to be Effective.
We can't look at the cleaning of looted and burned areas and not find the seeds of hope and purposeful futures. People going to heal.
Now- with extreme Violence - the healers will flee for fear of being harmed in the daytime. Violence kills when Justice is overruled.
When we find Police Cams are published on YouTube - we are finding officers explaining the truth by putting Body Cam Footage out there. To assume most people are doing their best would be about 98% Accurate.
What does this Scripture say about Overcoming?
God, Himself, does not ask us to wallow in Guilt. Do not adopt popular opinion. Use Right Judgement to find Goodness triumphs and prevails. Ending evil as finished and conquered.
Ruth 1
15 And she said, “See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.”
16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried.
May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”
18 And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.
Asking God for His Blessings
is Expecting His Blessings
is Choosing His Blessed Ways
19 So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them. And the women said, “Is this Naomi?” 20 She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?”
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab.
And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
Abba, Father,
To know the Scriptures, is to know the Power of God. Mercy. Love.
Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers,
For you are all children of light, children of the day.
Put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with Him.
Encourage one another and build one another up,
just as you are doing.
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work.
Be at peace among yourselves.
And we urge you,
admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
See that no one repays anyone evil for evil
Always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Do not quench the Spirit.
Abba,
We ask to seek You and find You First.
To See, Find and Become More Heaven on this earth
for Your Good Will.
God's Loving Hand upon us all.
God's Loving Hand upon us all.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active,
sharper than any two-edged sword,
sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,
of joints and of marrow,
of joints and of marrow,
and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
