Today is the day of choosing, whether to serve the living God, or the god of this world.
Tell me what does the god of this world offer that so many have chosen? What promises has he made to those who follow his teaching? What future is ahead for those who keep their heads down so that they cannot see what is coming? It is easy to follow him and his diciples that require you to live and think only of satisfying your flesh. They shout out at those who follow the living God, “Don’t be deceived by the promise of your God that our rein will be short lived.”
Our leaders have sold out to the god of this world, and look at what it has lead to. Do they know the meaning of the word ‘justice?’ No! These leaders plot evil and the results are violence throughout the land. Therefore, today is a day of trouble, insults, and disgrace.
The true follower of Jesus must not follow the crowd in doing wrong, or be swayed by the crowd to twist justice. They need to pray, and lay out before Him all of the atrocities being done in our land, and say, “O Lord rescue us from their power; then everyone will know that You alone are God.”
Therefore, since we have been made right with God through Jesus Christ by faith, we have His peace and promise for the future. We can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, because sin does not control the way we live. We need to have control over our bodies and not allow the body, both physical body and Christ’s body, to become an instrument of evil. Instead, we will use our whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Remember that we are a slave of whatever we choose to obey. So choose to do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. There truly is a reward for those who live for God.
