Daily Dose of God's Word
At Barbara's Entourage
Going, Going, Gone?? Our Thoughts:
Seems we are living in a world today that believes 'anything goes', and anything will be done to get there. I remember a time when one wouldn't think about stealing for _fear of being caught_, speak against their parents, for _fear of God_, or do
something bad, because to do so would dishonor their parents. Have those days so easily passed us by? Will our children and grandchildren see a time when it's okay to do anything, say anything, without reprisal?
Call me naive, but I believe there will be reprecussions for dishonoring our parents, speaking evil of others, stealing (in whatever form or matter), and dishonoring God in any way. Sure, we are 'free agents', able to do whatever we feel like doing. But, what we should be doing is
honoring God, keeping His commandments, and living a life that would leave one with a clean reputation.
When we sin, we pay a price. Restitution will be made, according to the Word. The life of a 'free agent' isn't easy. But the life of a Christian, who lives by the spirit of God, which is within him, is the one for which we should strive each day.
God's Thoughts:
Leviticus 6:4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
Our Cup:
Heavenly Father, help us live by the spirit within us, to keep your commandments, and never to dishonor you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
