Honey Or Vinegar?? The preacher placed two identical jars on the table next to the pulpit. He quoted 1 Samuel 16  The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. “These jars came from the same factory, were made of the same materials, and can hold the same amount. But they are different,” he explained. Then he upset one and it oozed out honey. He turned over the other, and vinegar spilled out. “When a jar is upset, whatever is in it comes out. Until the jars were upset, they looked alike. The difference was within and could not be seen. When they were upset, their contents were revealed. Until we are upset, we put on a good front. But when we are upset, we reveal our innermost thoughts and attitudes, “for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45 What if someone tipped you over today? What would flow out?? Would you reveal the “honey” of grace and patience? Or the “vinegar” of anger and criticism? “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8 Have a terrific day knowing that the one who upsets you may be just looking to see what is going to flow out of you as well as you find out yourself. “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.” - Matthew 23:27 May the Lord bless you and keep you |
