Your Truth My Truth
Your Truth My Truth – Playing With Fire
Aren’t you glad that Almighty God is eternally on His throne?
The effect of the fall of man (SIN) is everywhere, at a blatant level I bet you thought you’d never see before.
It’s getting to be where I don’t even want to look at the headlines anymore.
Do you see what’s happening around us?
Here’s a case in point: the other day I saw an attention-grabbing headline on a popular website.
“Shout Your Truth!” it said in big bold letters on the landing page.
Did you catch that?
“Your truth.”
Does it break your heart to see that as it does mine?
Your truth, my truth?
No thanks.
Friends, this is insane.
We are so undeserving of God’s mercy, and yet despite a world gone mad that’s also full of hatred towards Him, He freely offers us His grace.
Out of concerns for our country, I continue to pray for a spiritual revival, but what trumps everything is to pray that God’s will be done.
I want to tell these misguided people – take off your blinders!
God will always be Sovereign and on His throne!
Not that they would listen.
If you’re getting sick of the madness as much I am, then my suggestion is to turn off the mainstream news media when you can, and tune out the obscenity-laden sitcoms and reality shows.
Focus your concentration on what God has done, and what He will do.
It’s A New Day
Tomorrow morning when you wake up and you’re on your way to work, take a moment to check out the sunrise.
Thank You God, for beautiful sunrises!
It’s the first thing I see when I lift up the shades in the morning.
Providing encouragement to all, King David wrote in Psalm 105:
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Tell of all His wonders. – Psalm 105:2, (NASB).1
No doubt, in the challenging times ahead, we will have good days and bad days.
But we can’t lose our perspective.
Remember these words in 1 Peter that also apply to us today . . .
After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. – 1 Peter 5:10: (NASB).2
The world is watching Christians. We are, in essence, under a microscope.
As Christians, we have the answer that a hurting world needs. Next time you’re approached by a person who’s hurting due to illness, death, circumstances, or a natural disaster, point them to God’s Word. Show them how death and suffering are the punishment for sin but how Jesus Christ provided the solution to that problem when He died on the Cross and rose again. Because of Christ, we have hope for now and eternity. – Avery Foley, Answers in Genesis.3
