Holy Spirit, lead my hand please.

Genesis 21

Today, Father Your Holy Spirit brought a phrase to my mind:

"Today's friend could be tomorrow's enemy; and today's enemy could be tomorrow's friend. "

The Philistines; the enemy of David and saul and the Israelites, Prior to their births were well with each other. So much that Abraham dwelt many days in the land of the Philistines, even making a covenant with abimelech and phichol. And for a time in 1 samuel 27, David joined the Philistines against Israel. War is messy. Friends and enemies; is there even a difference in the long game? If sides are always changing how can we be so arrogant to hold such expectations over others? I am guilty of this same arrogance, Father.

Forgive us our sin of presumption. You are the only one that knows all, and where things begin and end.

Even Jesus..

Ate at the same table of the betrayer, judas... knowingly.

Friends, enemies. Much rather Trust God (You Father) and make every one else a liar. Romans 3

As we break this bread (please bless it), let us remember Jesus Christ's body given for us, who at times were just as guilty, and could just as well be again, as judas.

As we drink this cup of wine (please bless it) that we remember Jesus' blood of the new covenant, shed for many for the remission of sins which we oft commit; Of whom i am chief.

We repent Father. Please withhold us from sinning against You by Your Holy Spirit and put in us a new heart for You.

Let us remember Your Son. Who loved friend and enemy the same and died for both their and our sins that all who may believe On Him shall have everlasting life.

In Jesus name amen.
