Daddy Will Handle "THEM"!
Volume 207 December 16, 2012
|
Greetings!,
Daddy Will Handle "THEM"! (1 of 5)
We are quick to form certain conclusions of ANYONE who declares that they never get upset, angry or mad with others.
We KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE since that is impossible when dealing with anyone other than our self!
There are many ways in which we offend people that we may or may not be aware.
We offend through our words, expressions, misunderstood actions or misinformed experiences.
There are deliberate times when without shame or regard we intentionally strike out at others, with the intent to
wound them physically, emotionally or spiritually.

Daddy Will Handle "THEM"! (2 of 5)
We ignore the reality of consequences and negative reactions that such actions WILL USHER INTO OUR OWN LIVES.
We even disregard one another's well -being and spirit by
choosing to ignore Proverbs 18:14-The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit?
NLT (KJ- a wounded spirit). This is why we can't allow ourselves to become consumed with being offended, mistreated or misunderstood.
It is not physically or spiritually healthy for either party involved.
Yes, we have been offended!
Yes, people have done evil and mean things to us.
Yes, offensive words and curses have been spoken to us!

Daddy Will Handle "THEM"! (3 of 5)
Yes, it is unfortunately true that people have become so self-centered that they are quick to disregard how their actions or words may offend others. Because we are slow to or don't react negatively to the offenses done to us, many times people mistake our meekness as weakness. However, when we have given our lives to Jesus Christ and have agreed to follow in His footsteps we will not be quick to defend ourselves; because we realize that Daddy-God is looking and booking and will deal with us accordingly to our choices or decisions.

Daddy Will Handle "THEM"! (4 of 5)
Through being in relationship with the Lord and learning His heart through His Word, we find that it is TRULY IMPORTANT THAT
WE CONDUCT OUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS ACCORDING TO WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, FOR THEN WE CAN HAVE
THE ASSURANCE OF DADDY-GOD'S PROMISE IN Proverbs 20:22-- Don't say, "I will get even for this wrong." Wait for the LORD to handle the matter.(NLT)
From various Bible Scholars we note: "God's awarding to everyone according to His works, is the true check to the spirit of vindictiveness." (Barnes)
"Judgment is His, and His judgments are sure. In the meantime, pray for the conversion of your enemy." (Clarke)
Private revenge is not to be taken, but should be left to God, to whom vengeance belongs." (Gill)
|
Daddy Will Handle "THEM"! (5 of 5)
Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"says the Lord.
Therefore, let's choose to ask Daddy-God to help us NOT TO BE SO EASILY OFFENDED AND to place our offenses at the feet of Jesus.
Let's forgive, ignore and choose to be Christ-like and allow Daddy-God to HANDLE "THEM"!!!

LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPT. Holiday Safety Tips
The following Holiday Safety Tips were compiled, in cooperation with the LAPD Crime Prevention Section, to contribute to the safety and security of people during the holiday season. The holiday season is always a special time of year. It is also a time when busy people become careless and vulnerable to theft and other holiday crime. We can never be too careful, too prepared or too aware. Please share this information with family, friends and neighbors. The Los Angeles Police Department wishes you a safe, happy and peaceful holiday season. Driving - Avoid driving alone or at night.
- Keep all car doors locked and windows closed while in or out of your car. Set your alarm or use an anti-theft device.
- If you must shop at night, park in a well-lighted area.
- Avoid parking next to vans, trucks with camper shells, or cars with tinted windows.
- Park as close as you can to your destination and take notice of where you parked.
- Never leave your car unoccupied with the motor running or with children inside.
- Do not leave packages or valuables on the seat of your car. This creates a temptation for thieves. If you must leave something in the car, lock it in the trunk or put it out of sight.
- Be sure to locate your keys prior to going to your car.
- Keep a secure hold on your purse, handbag and parcels. Do not put them down or on top of the car in order to open the door.
- When approaching or leaving your vehicle, be aware of your surroundings.
- Do not approach your car alone if there are suspicious people in the area.
- Ask mall or store security for an escort before leaving your shopping location.
Automated Teller Machine (ATM) - If you must use an ATM, choose one that is located inside a police station, mall, or well-lighted location. Withdraw only the amount of cash you need.
- Protect your PIN by shielding the ATM keypad from anyone who is standing near you.
- Do not throw your ATM receipt away at the ATM location.
Shopping - Shop during daylight hours whenever possible. If you must shop at night, go with a friend or family member.
- Dress casually and comfortably.
- Avoid wearing expensive jewelry.
- Do not carry a purse or wallet, if possible.
- Always carry your California Driver License or Identification Card along with necessary cash, checks and/or a credit card you expect to use.
- Even though you are rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings.
- Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
- Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible.
- Keep cash in your front pocket.
- Notify the credit card issuer immediately if your credit card is lost, stolen or misused.
- Keep a record of all of your credit card numbers in a safe place at home.
- Be extra careful if you do carry a wallet or purse. They are the prime targets of criminals in crowded shopping areas, transportation terminals, bus stops, on buses and other rapid transit.
- Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.
- Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, "con-artists" may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.
Children - If possible, leave small children at home with a trusted babysitter.
- Teach your child to go to a store clerk and ask for help in case your child is separated from you.
- Teach children to stay close to you at all times while shopping.
- Never allow children to make unaccompanied trips to the restroom.
- Children should never be allowed to go to the car alone and they should never be left alone in the car.
- Teach children their full name, address and telephone number to give to police officers or mall security. Teach children to immediately inform you if a stranger is bothering them.
At Home - Be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave the house, even for a few minutes.
- When leaving home for an extended time, have a neighbor or family member watch your house and pick up your newspapers and mail.
- Indoor and outdoor lights should be on an automatic timer.
- Leave a radio or television on so the house looks and sounds occupied.
- Large displays of holiday gifts should not be visible through the windows and doors of your home.
- When setting up a Christmas tree or other holiday display, make sure doors and passageways are clear inside your home.
- Be sure your Christmas tree is mounted on a sturdy base so children, elderly persons or family pets cannot pull it over on themselves.
- If you use lights on your Christmas tree ensure the wiring is not damaged or frayed. Frayed or damaged wiring can cause a fire.
- Place your Christmas tree in water or wet sand to keep it green.
- Never place wrapping paper in your fireplace.
Have a safe and happy holiday season!
