3/23/13 Weekly Grace Notes: Oh Bey, put that mud down! It's not a good look for you.

 Psalm 23:5: When we “bow down” to the temptation of slinging mud at our foes, we too get soiled. And it is simply not worth it, particularly when we have young bystanders who may also get polluted in the process! Let us always seek the high road, and let God handle our battles. For when God handles our battles, not only will He place our enemies at our feet, He will allow us to feast in their presence!

Let us all remember to keep God "boss" in our lives!

Scripture meditation: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, 
He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul.
 He guides me along the right paths 
for His name’s sake. Even though I walk
 through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, 
for You are with me;
 Your rod and Your staff,
 they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
 You anoint my head with oil; 
my cup overflows. Surely Your goodness and love will follow me 
all the days of my life, 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
 forever. (New International Version) Psalm 23

(This note was motivated by R&B artist Beyonce's latest song "Bow Down" where Beyonce repetitively refers in her lyrics to apparently her haters as the offensive term reserved for female dogs. This is quite troubling because of her significant youth fan base.)
