Prayer Guide and Devotional – July 23, 2023


Jude 1:9
But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
As humans we are often so quick and so ready to speak evil or nasty about people, to pronounce judgement on others for their lifestyles, when ourselves may have been involved with similar activities we are condemning others of. But here we have the Lord describing a rhubarb between Michael the Archangel and the devil regarding Moses body. And even though we all know how evil, nasty, and smelly the devil is (and I am sure Michael knew this!), Michael the Archangel himself did not throw any accusations at the devil but stated “The Lord rebuke you!”Wow! What we can learn from this!! When we have a problem of any sort, take the problem to the Lord. Have Him guide your heart, your mind, your emotions, and your tongue. Have the Lord handle our confrontations. All will end perfectly!
Pray that Christians will learn they do not have to be quick to throw condemning language at people too hastily! We can always go to the Lord and ask him to handle the situation.
While most of us likely think of pie and other sweet and tangy edibles when we hear the word rhubarb, the word has since at least the 1940s also referred to what happens sometimes when passionate people disagree
