The LORD protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.
Psalm 27:1
Choose WiselyChoose Wisely
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22
We're living in days when the
world says what's good is bad and what's bad is good. Revelation
tells us this will happen. It's not popular to stand on what's
true, moral or righteous. The sad truth is that the voices of
a few are causing these terrible social changes when the majority
needs to make their voices heard.
Before the Lord there is no excuse. His word says, "Examine
everything carefully; hold fast to what is good and run away from
evil." We've been given a will and understanding to know
right from wrong - no grey areas, it's black or white. The rules
can't be changed to fit our lifestyles. We choose God's truth
or Satan's lies; there is no middle ground.
What we experience in life comes from choices that we or someone
else made. If we hold fast to good, we'll benefit and so will
others. But, if we hold fast to what is evil, then it will not
only hurt us but others as well. We're stones being thrown into
the pond of life and, good or bad, we create ripples.
If we recognize the negative impact of others in our life past
and present and know the hurt it's caused us, then choose now
to make a positive impact in someone's life. Don't wait; you
go first. You'll be pleasantly surprised. It'll affect others
around you and ultimately, you.
Let us hold fast to what is good and carefully examine everything.
We'll all touch someone - let's touch them well.
