I’m not an artist, nor am I versed in the correct terms for different
forms of art, but for purposes of painting a visual picture to express my
thoughts and feelings, I hope you will allow me to metaphorically use the
mediums of water and forms of art, even if my knowledge of the terms are rather
limited. As we travel down this path of
thought together, don’t get concerned that it’s going to be about
politics. It’s not, but as always,
whatever’s going on in the world around us will always creep into and encroach
upon the process of trying to find our way in live. The content of the life can be compared to an
artist and how his art is used to fill canvas of life for individuals, groups
or even that of a nation. It is always
in a constant state of change, whether it be for the better or for the
worse. As Christians, we must always be
aware that there is no standing still, or neutrality, in the process of living
out our lives with the Lord. Either we
will be drawing near to Him to seek Him daily, or we will be drifting away,
consciously or unconsciously. Since He
is never the one to leave us, it is our own choices and actions that determine
the nature and closeness of our relationship with Him..
Every time
I begin to write, trying to organize my thoughts is much like trying to unravel
a twisted piece of yarn. I first have to
find the beginning, just what am I searching for, what element of truth am I
trying to understand? There is a process
of following the length of the yarn to find out where it twists; is it tangled,
is it knotted, and of course the uncertain search for the ending. At times, the process seems so overwhelming,
I feel like giving up before I’ve even begun.
There are times when I wonder if it’s even worth the effort, but then I
have to ask myself, “Where would you and I be if God felt that way every time
He looks at the fabric of our lives, as He sees us wobble and weave through
life. Often, because we failed to stop
and ask Him for directions, He stands there looking at us with love and
compassion in His eyes, shaking His head, as he sees us taking a wrong turn, or
nearly drop off the edge of an unseen cliff just as we round an unfamiliar bend
through the fog of life. What utter
patience He has with us. Though we often
fail, He’s always there to help us untie that knot in our lives, created by our
own doing, because we simply didn’t take the time to consult with Him
first. He said He would direct our paths,
and yet we jump out ahead of Him, acting so self willed, and getting too big
for our britches. Sometimes it might
work out okay. Other times, we land
right in the middle of a mud puddle, which covers us with slime and sticky
goop, because we didn’t ask directions, or listen to His instructions, obey and
follow His lead.
The
particularly troubling mud puddle that presently seeks to spread it’s slime
over everything is something called political correctness. President Obama has been proclaiming that the
most serious danger to the security of America
In this
case, the drug of choice, or weapon being used to infect and corrupt everything
it touches, is language. Language can be
an especially lethal weapon, inflicting decay into the mind and heart of man. It can corrupt and destroy like a parasite
that feeds off of its host, eventually taking it over entirely, destroying it
from within. For some time now, a book
filled with PC words has been under construction for the specific purpose of
indoctrinating, corrupting, and brainwashing the minds and hearts of mankind. This
deceiving and craftly created vocabulary is always changing, evolving, and
being added to. It seeks to set up new
criteria and standards to be used to reshape and control mankind: to captivate,
imprison, and corrupt any human being who will drink it in deeply, and swallow
it hook, line, and sinker. This new book
has been created for the purpose of replacing The Book, the Bible, that was
once so cherished in the hearts and minds of so many, but now, more often, may
be found sitting on a shelf, collecting dust from lack of attention and
use. The words from this once cherished
book used to be widely read, written on the tablets of man’s heart, and adhered
to as the manual of life instructions, authored by the Master Himself, through
the power of the Holy Spirit, as He led men of old to write His thoughts for
man to know and follow Him. It’s a gift
to all who would seek Him, believe in Him and receive His Holy Spirit through
spiritual rebirth and faith in Christ, the only Savior.
Unfortunately,
many choose to doubt the word of God, believing that God and His word are old,
outdated, and no longer needed. They
have turned their hearts away from God, preferring new things, created in the
image of Man, not in the image of God.
Many have chosen to believe the idea of building a great new world, a
man-made utopia, made through the wisdom of man, by his own hands. They prefer
a world without God, where mankind can finally indulge himself in fulfilling
all of his own pleasures and desires, without having to be bothered with that
pesky idea of sin, or a need for a Savior.
He prefers to think he can make up his own standards and be his own god.
This new book of course also has an author, Lucifer, who is not new at
all. The silly thing is that this new
age man thinks he’s so wise, he sees himself as the author of the book,
and the captain of his own future. He
shouts to himself, “Free at last, free at last, thank Me, thank Me, I’m free at
last!” Unfortuately, thinking themselves
to be free because they have trusted in their own wisdom instead of God’s, they
have, in reality, made the vice of sin and death clamp ever tighter around them
selves. Through their own intellectual
pride, they have enslaved themselves to the Doctrine of Political
Correctness. Yes, that’s the
name of the new book. Well, in reality
it’s not really a new book, for Satan can not create anything. He can only distort and pervert that which
God has created Men choose to forget
God and make the vice tighter by creating laws to enforce their new
agenda. Not wanting to be responsible to
God, they seek to over ride the freedom and true tolerance that they were once
given under the old book, the Bible.
They have exchanged the freedom they once had for the tyranny of this new
ideology. Under it, and the new
restrictive laws, they are no longer given the freedom to choose, but now must
adhere to the demands of the new way, or be marked forever with the letter H,
for Hater. What was the crime committed
that has made you guilty of being a HATER?
You have dared to disagree with the new doctrine of Political
Correctness.
This
new doctrine is not just captivating those outside the body of Christ. Because the people of The Bible have become
more and more biblically illiterate and far less diligent in the defending of
their faith, they are neither cold nor hot in their Love of the Lord. They have even begun to welcome in and
incorporate much of the New Doctrine, letting it corrupt their faith in the truth
of the Lord. Many have chosen to become
leopard spot Christians, picking and choosing which “spots” of the Bible they
will or will not choose to agree with or believe, They have forgotten that either all of the
word of God is true, or none of it is true; in effect, they are saying that God
lies. They have even published new
translations of the Bible and taken out references to Jesus as the Son of God,
and so much more. They have forgotten
what it means to “have no other gods before me”.
No longer revering Him as the One True God, He is reduced to the status
of one among many. No longer is Jesus
the only Saviour of mankind. His death
on the cross to pay our sin debt in full was needless, and He was never
resurrected from the dead. All gods are
equal they say, and provide many paths to God, right? Not! Not if you believe the words of Jesus that He
alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one can come to the Father
except through Him. Is it not
surprising how those of us, who profess to believe in Christ, can so quickly
and easily be led astray from our first love, the One that we claim to love
with all our heart, mind, and strength?
Our Churches have become “Brotherhood of Man Clubs,” more interested in
fighting for social justice causes, and exalting ourselves through our “good
works,” instead of exalting Jesus Christ
for His greater work on the Cross and resurrection from the dead, that through
Him, we might be saved by grace.
The consequences
of the dark powers set free by political correctness, intended or unintended,
are deadly. It’s used as a handy tool to
destroy the unity of brothers and sisters in Christ and to block the renewal
and redemption of souls through the truth of the word by the grace of God. Unfortunately, freedom of speech and the
preaching of the word of God, even from the pulpit, are threatened. To be politically correct, there are parts of
the Bible that may no longer be preached without threat of consequences. For fear of offending some one, or appearing
to be different from, and not agreeing with the world, and Christian beliefs
are deemed unacceptable and cause for ridicule.
Many have turned from preaching the uncompromised word; they just leave
parts out that might make someone “feel uncomfortable”. If we must not cause anyone to feel
uncomfortable, what does that do to the fact that one of the responsibilities
of the church is to confront the sin in our lives that we might sorrow unto
repentance and turn back to the Lord?
Oops, there are now several cracks made in the very foundations of the
entire church that will cause a lethal blow and produce spiritual death. No wonder so many of our churches have been
reduced to “Feel Good Clubs.” There is
less and less will to fight against the enemy, much less have the ability to
recognize him and his deception. Why,
some churches have become so blind as to deny the existence of Satan or
Hell. If that were true, why would Jesus
wasted time teaching about it?
You may
ask, “Who is in charge of creating this new vocabulary, the definitions for
these words, making it an instrument to convey the “more acceptable and
enlightened” way of thinking. From where
is this new agenda coming? Who is in charge of changing the mind of the people
so that all may be prepared to accept these new, improved, and more enlightened
standards, values, ethics as valid? Oh
no, it’s not the word of God, nor is it the people who make up the body of
Christ. No, we live in a post Christian
society now, where Christ and His word are no longer acceptable in the public
arena. One can even be fired today for
praying at work and using the words “in the name of Jesus Christ. Oh, it’s acceptable to teach sixth graders
the five pillars of Islam, how to dress like Muslims, and even say Muslim prayers,
but prayers in the name of Jesus? Of
course not, that’s taboo and deemed politically incorrect and offensive speech. Remember, Jesus is exclusive, not
inclusive, To be PC, even as Christians we have to be
willing to become inclusive, accept all gods as valid and equal. Gee, wouldn’t that mean that Jesus is a
liar? Do you see the dilemma that this
new book or ideology causes to the very Godhood of Jesus Christ?
Again I
ask, “Who is in charge of creating this new language and determining what speech
is or is not politically correct? It’s
the secular humanistic dogma, of course.
They shout loudly, “Don’t shove your Jesus down my throat,” but they are
allowed to shove their religion of secular humanism down ours. Oh yes, believe me, it is their religion,
which also includes climate change as a part of their doctrine, which they
swear is settled science. Do you and I
have the freedom to disagree with the idea that it is settled science? Well, for the present the answer is yes, if
we are ready to be ridiculed for our viewpoint.
But that may not last for long. They are already trying to devise some way
of criminalizing the actions of anyone that wishes to disagree with them. Don’t take my word for it, Google it; you’ll
find that threat of action spoken by Loretta Lynch, our present Attorney
General.
Our
secular humanistic society wants to make man, not God, the center of all life. Don’t get me wrong. I am not accusing them of being bad people,
just spiritually blinded. Remember, this
is a spiritual battle; Satan and his followers are behind all of this. The people actually think they are doing a
good thing; “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes.” (Prv. 21: 2) The force of political correctness is being
used: to define and redefine words and ideas in a distorted, perverted and
deceiving manner; for the explicit purpose of demonizing, marginalizing, and
manipulating anyone and anything that refuses to conform to its mold; to
ridicule and break the will of anyone who refuses to accept the definitions of
the language and ideology; and to bring
everyone into compliance with the biases of the secular world view, not a
biblical world view, as we used to have in America.
The
specific agenda for this tyranny through newly defined and created vocabulary is
meant to create a society where people are no longer allowed to be individuals
who have the freedom to be God fed, and Word and Holy Spirit led. Oh, it’s okay
for one to believe in any god, just not the biblical God- the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. In order for man to be able
to create his man-centered utopia, according to the politically correct agenda,
the first thing that needs to be destroyed and eliminated is the freedom of
individuals who desire to worship and respond to God, declaring a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior, to believe in one God, not
many, and to believe that only God decides what is sin. . Presently, the only religion that is allowed
that freedom is Islam, whose god is Allah.
Protection of their right is politically correct. Some would have us believe that Allah is the
same as our biblical God, but that can not be for their god denies the
existence of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, the Son of God.
Remember,
Christians have become haters because we believe that Jesus is not one of many
gods, for salvation is found through no other name than Jesus Christ? If you choose to disagree, God gives you the
freedom to do so. But don’t try to argue
with me about it. I didn’t set up the
plan of redemption, He did. So it’s not
the gospel according to Ginger; it’s the Gospel according the Lord God
Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, and all that is within it. If you want to argue, you’ll have to take
your complaint to the Lord and discuss it with Him. He always has a willing ear and loves to hear
from you. After all, it is He who has
loved us first. Like it or not, gravity
exists whether you believe in it or not.
God exists, and He loves and believes in you whether you believe in Him
or not. God was, is, and always will be
God, no matter what! Choosing not to
believe in God doesn’t change God, but it has dire consequences for the one who
chooses not to believe. God doesn’t give
up on us; it is we who may choose to give up on Him. You might want to ask yourself, “Do you
really want to suffer the consequences of choosing to go your own way without
His grace and protection from sin and eternal damnation?” Won’t you at least check it out in His
word? You must be born again of the
spirit; He is the only Savior.
Presently,
Christians are being slaughtered, not just a few, but so many that even our Secretary
of State, John Kerry, was finally forced to admit that it is genocide. Even so,
we Christians are the ones being accused of being the haters and intolerant
bigots, simply because we choose to believe that God says what He means, and
means what He says in His word, the Bible.
And, to top it all off, we are being martyred because we choose to try
to tell others about the good news of Jesus Christ, praying for others to
believe in Him as their personal Lord and Savior before it’s too late. Yeah,
we’re haters all right.
Boy,
those Christians are such simple minded pesky beings, always disrupting the
politically correct world. Imperfect as
we are, we still want to tell others about the perfect Savior that bled and
died to take away the sins of anyone who will believe in Him, and receive Him
as Savior and Lord. Because we refuse to
believe that there are many paths to God, we are a thorn in the flesh of the
secular humanists. We are a nuisance and
a hindrance to their agenda of creating a man centered utopia, created in man’s
own image, through man’s own superior
wisdom, and having no need of such foolish things as God, forgiveness, Jesus’
sacrifice or His resurrection. Indeed,
through man’s far greater superior knowledge, intellect and reasoning abilities,
man has deemed himself to be his own god, by the power of his own works.
This
upgraded and enlightened politically correct atmosphere is one that is
determined to make all conform to the collective will of the group, for the
greater good of all. Christians are told
that they must be willing to put our antiquated beliefs aside and leave them
behind. Don’t believe it? Google Hillary Clinton and hear her own
words, not taken out of context.
In order to be accepted in this new one world society, all must be
indoctrinated like robots to think in a predetermined secular manner, accepting
the new definitions and ideas as if they are set in stone as the law of the
land, set by the will of man, not the will God.
This creates a society in which there is no longer the freedom to agree
to disagree, but rather a society in which one group, the secular humanists,
are working hard to strengthen its tyrannically reign over others who would disagree
with their agenda, ideas, vocabulary and definitions.
The
secular world is diligently working to silence every voice and thought that is
not acceptable to the collective group.
Don’t believe it? Look at our wonderful
college campuses. If one voice of
protest is heard in opposition to a conservative or Christian invited to speak,
voila, the speaker is shut down, shouted down, or just plain uninvited to
speak. Hey, America
This PC
atmosphere is in complete opposition to the fact that our freedoms are
supposedly granted to the people, not by the government, but by God. Sure, the Lord
our God has given us His truth, which He reveals unto anyone who seeks Him. If you seek the Lord, you shall find Him. He
will come into the heart of anyone who opens the door of his heart and invites
Him to come in. He will send His Holy
Spirit to be with you and live within you.
Though He wants all to receive Him, He gives each individual the freedom
to choose to accept or reject His truth.
He never forces Himself upon anyone.
Our response to Him is by our own choice, either to follow Him, or go
our own way without Him. He always gives
us a choice; the consequences are made clear from the very beginning – Heaven
or Hell, the choice is ours to make.
Just
where and how does art fit into the content of this theme? Consider abstract or impressionistic art,
such as that done by Picasso. Through
his artistic medium of painting, he might draw the human body in such a manner
that it appears entirely disconnected, distorted, perverted, twisted, and
completely misrepresented, resulting in the creation of something that now
looks like some crazy puzzle, no longer looking anything like a human
body. And believe it or not, people will
rave about it and exalt it as good and excellent. Okay, I think that is called artistic
license. Picasso once said that “every
act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.” (Boy!
Am I glad God didn’t say that!)
Picasso took reality, destroyed it, and then recreated (or perverted) it
into something entirely different from the original. Similarly, this is how language is being used
as an instrument to tear down the fabric of our Judea/Christian culture. A culture without God and His standards
enables man to ignore God, deny the existence of sin, any need for forgiveness,
repentance or Jesus, our Savior.
This is
where life imitates the art of abstract painting. Life is like a canvass ready to be
painted. Every painting is a journey
that is a unique process. God has a plan
for painting the life journey for each individual. However, it can be changed, altered,
detoured, and even destroyed by our choice not to let Him direct how that
canvas is going to be painted, or if we choose to eliminate the hand of the
Master in our lives altogether. In this
new politically correct society, many have decided to take charge of creating
their own picture of life upon the canvas.
Others, while they are a fewer in numbers, are still choosing be a follower of Christ,
hand the paint brush to Him, and trust that He knows best how to plan and
direct the painting of their canvass of life, as they humble themselves and
cooperate with Him, trusting in Him to be with them and show them the way.
Do you
choose to ignore Him, take the brush and paint pallet into your own grasp,
choosing to conform to politically correct thought and the ways of the world? You can choose to do so, but don’t forget
about those dire consequences. Life
colors can be confusing and deceiving at times.
They could look one way in your own mind’s eye, but become completely
different, even devastatingly grotesque in reality. Remember, only God really
knows how to unravel completely the twisted yarn of life, and what colors to
use on the canvass that will be truly vibrant and lasting. However, let’s assume that you have chosen to
be your own master and go the politically correct path of life. Seeking the approval of the world, you select
what seems to be the newest and best brush.
You carefully view the pallet with
its myriad of colors of paint. Without
any regard for the Master’s wisdom, knowledge, and more capable, protecting and
loving hands, you begin to paint your own canvas. Ah yes, you have plenty of confidence and an
abundance of self esteem. You dip the brush
into what appears to be the richest and most beautiful of all colors, never
realizing that you have been deceived, for things are not always as they appear
to be. In reality, not having the mind of Christ and His Holy Spirit to lead and
direct you, you have chosen to use dry colors, which only have a short and
temporary luster, but crack, fade quickly, creating wide and disjointed chasms
that become gross and disconnected features upon your canvass of life. Oh yes, they may bloom for a moment in time,
even look rich and successful, but it was only temporary. They swiftly withered and died, leaving your
canvass of life to exist in a deep dark corner, eternally neglected and alone,
separated from the love of God. Seeking
rewards in this temporary life only, having been blinded by pride, willfully
giving up the wisdom, truth, and glory of God.
You chose to paint your life in the colors of this world, not caring how
you looked in God’s eyes, but seeking to spend your life, concerned only with
what is acceptable in the eyes of man.
Being deceived, you followed the PC book of life, became a good little
politically correct soldier, never disagreeing with the agenda of code and buzz
words, so everyone could feel “safe,”
never having to be confronted with any offensive words that might upset
their tender little ears. Oh no, no
offensive words in this snug PC world. They must be fed only words that make
them feel good about themselves. No words
of correction, instruction, reproof or words of rebuke were even whispered
here, for their only concern in life is to be able to do and hear what is
pleasing unto them selves. Unless, by
the grace of God, a miracle happened before it was too late, by their own
choice, they painted an abstract picture on their own canvass, one that was
filled with lies, deception, and a shallow and temporary life, and a life
canvass that turned out disjointed, disconnected, and, like one of Picasso’s
paintings, as if it had been created by a crazy mind.. Sadly, many of the politically correct never
turned back to God. Instead, they filled
their lives with self and gave up the eternal riches that God had so wanted to
give freely unto them.
In this
fallen world, being Politically Correct is only one of Satan’s tools used for
purposes of drawing many away from the Lord.
However, it is a powerful weapon. Trusting in God does not mean that
your own canvass is going to always look perfect. Sometimes life comes in like a flood, and for
the time being, your canvass may seem to be faded, tossed about, and as if all
the colors were running together. Because
we live in a broken and corrupt world, the evil one and the world itself, will
try to paint you in an unfavorable light, and trap you in a pit of quicksand
from which there is no escape. We may even fail to resist that evil one, and
the paints of destruction, ridicule, and mocking may be used to present you to
the PC world as a nonconformist, politically incorrect, hateful, and
worse. Still, seek the Lord and His
strength that you may not bow down and conform to the gods of political
correctness that would tempt you to stray from God and His protection. It’s better to have the favor of God than it
is to have the favor of man. The
politically correct world seeks to reverse that principle, turning society
upside down, enabling good to be called bad.
In this
tyranny of politically correct language, filled with entrapping code or buzz
words, with meanings that are constantly changing, the intent is to purposely
cause chaos and confusion. Thus, talking
out of both sides of the mouth at the same time, no true standards can ever be
determined. Anyone who resists
conforming to them is automatically labeled a hater, bigot, and
intolerant. Let us consider some of
these words of this new language that seek to imprison the individual, while
creating the most intolerant of all societies in which the politically correct
group is tolerant of anything and every thing, except those who do not
agree with them. The corrupt artist,
belonging to the powers and principalities of this world will attempt to use
that gross and broad brush, and with it he begins to paint all white people
indiscriminately with the wretched colors known as white guilt, white
privilege, slave owner, oppressor, of homophobic, xenophobic, gender phobic,
and, let us not forget that vilest color of all paints known as racist. In the eyes of the PC world, you are painted
with colors that designate you as: unacceptable,
nonconformist, politically incorrect, and hateful because you refuse to bow
down and conform to their gods of political correctness.
This
same perverted abstract artist, with that same gross broad brush, now turns to
others who follow Christ, and who happen to be people of color. to paint them just
as indiscriminately. This time he
selects tones of paint known as Uncle Tom, Oreo Cookie, perpetual victim,
unsuccessful, irresponsible, weaklings, lack of intelligence, and, of course,
inferior. These colors must be used for
them for, of course, they can’t possibly be strong and intelligent individuals
who can work hard and fulfill their own dreams and goals in life like any other
individual, no matter what color their skin is, can they?
One
color that is always included and used profusely in the politically correct world
is divisiveness. But when people of all colors are united in Christ, resist the
devil, and refuse to be manipulated by this deceiving agenda, they see
themselves as members of one race, the human race, children of God, who can not
be separated from God or each other.
They do their best to stay close to the Lord, root and grounded in the
Word, that they may not be deceived.
In
order to keep close to the Lord, one must always seek the Lord to make sure
that His special paints of true and vibrant colors are used to avoid
distortions on your life canvass. Give the Lord a free hand especially in using
these that you may more and more begin to be shaped into His image. These are
colors such as: character, freedom, humility, forgiveness, obedience, righteousness,
holiness, patience and the most glorious and important one of all, known as,
God and His love. I’m sure that I must
have left out others, but I think, had they only been used properly, the last
two would have covered a lot of errors and made up for the colors that may have
been left out or overlooked. Even so,
when you resist the devil, repent and turn from wicked ways, you can depend
upon the Lord to pick you up, plant your feet upon the right path, and revive
and renew all the colors on your canvass to their rightful hue. Remember, your canvass is not truly completed
till He has called you home and completed the last stroke to perfect you in the
presence of your Lord and Savior
Okay,
I’m sure you may be wondering where does the “muddy water” (found in the title)
tie into all of this? Well, here it
is. When I was a little girl, we lived
in a small town, a mostly rural area, called Columbia , Kentucky
For me,
such words are worthless and only keep the human race wrapped up in
unforgiveness and an eternally bankrupt view of life. For the most part, such an agenda is used for
the purpose of replacing the truth of God with the foolishness of mankind,
believing that everything is relative, and there is no standard for right and
wrong.
Instead,
as professing brothers and sisters united in Christ, shouldn’t we strive to be
loyal and obedient unto God and His word, both of which are the same yesterday,
today, and tomorrow? By the grace of
God, aren’t we meant to hide His word in our heart, praying that He will write
His words (not the words of the world) on the tablet of our heart, that we may
have our minds renewed, and having the mind of Christ, be transformed more and
more each day into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit? His word is established and true throughout
all the generations. With God’s help, shouldn’t
we choose to reject the gods of political correctness, and thank God while we
still have the freedom to do so? For me
the agenda of political correctness is as destructive to truth and life as quicksand
and polluted muddy waters are to good health.
Let us not sink into muddy waters which can produce an environment that
leads man to call good evil and evil good, producing strife, contention,
deceitfulness and lies which never lead to the truth or peace of the Lord.
Of
course, everyone has to decide for themselves what kind of “art” will be
produced in their own life. The agenda, or “art”, of political correctness is
as chaotic and destructive to the fabric of a society as the impressionistic
and abstract form of art is to the natural God given beauty of the human body. Political correctness is comparable to
choosing to view the awful scene of carnage after the Boston
I
understand that for some people, being politically correct is valued, accepted
and condoned. It happens to be your cup
of tea, but it is not mine, Let us walk in true tolerance, accepting our
freedom to be and think differently, but without the wrongly added demand that
either of us has to agree with, or condone the other’s beliefs, behavior, or
action as being right.
Allow true tolerance to exist. So while we may, let us peacefully “agree to
disagree.” For Christians, I pray that we can agree that God’s word is true,
and it does not change, NO NOT EVER, no matter how culture and societies may
change. “There are many devices in a
man’s heart (his ways are always changing); nevertheless the counsel of the
Lord, that shall stand.”(His word never changes.) (Prv. 19:21)
Encouragement: It’s better to do that which is pleasing in the
sight of the Lord than to be double minded, and do that which is pleasing in
the sight of mankind. Don’t let the
world define you. Delight in the ways of
the Lord, and let Him do His work within you.
I pray that we will each strive to be obey God and comply with the word
of the Lord, and that we shall not try to change the word of God to
suit our desires and actions.
It is written:
“Trust
in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In
all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” (Psalm 3: 5, 6)
“And be
not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
(Romans 12: 2)
“For
the word of the Lord is right; and all His works are done in truth.” (Psalm
33:4)
“For
the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all
generations.” (Psalm 100: 5)
“Now
the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty.” (II Cor. 3:17)
