A Daily Devotional – Holy Day – The Eternal Word
Comment: "The sun looks down
on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.” A quote
of C.S. Lewis regarding thanksgiving. The giving of thanks is not an annual event
in the world around us. The United States of America is the only country that
makes the fourth Thursday of November a holiday as a celebrated day of
thanks. This Thursday holiday is the national kick start
for a month's worth of the visible decline of family in our beloved nation.
Each holiday that comes during this month has a specific name and purpose. Yet and
because of our national decline into decadence we hold to the traditions of
man, rather that understanding something so simple as the original definition
of holiday
is Holy Day. For me, it is obvious that we have turned this simple truth into a
lie.
Devotional: We
might find argument with the thoughts above, but when I think and meditate on
national things it seems that I am immediately reminded of a verse of scripture
in Romans One that reads like this. “who exchanged the truth of God for the lie,
and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen.” Romans 1:25
I am certain that C.S. Lewis in his quote about
family, laughter and the giving of thanks did not think for a moment of
listening in on the laughter at the dinner table these days. Not only in this
country, but even in his beloved England. The people described in Romans One
have willingly replaced the truth of God, for the lie and they laugh over
this. As Dr. Jeremiah said recently – Romans chapter One is the only
chapter in the Holy Bible that (as a child of God) is difficult to read.
So, what do you think? Can God be wrong and man, right?
Here is a thought that may prove the point. Santa Claus, is He the Truth or is he the
lie? From infancy, we are taught to believe by faith in Santa Claus. Also from
infancy, we are taught to reject believing by faith in the ONE True God and His Son Jesus. Psalm 19:1-14 provides enough evidence that GOD is revealed in nature and in
His Word.
Can we change our mind and return to God? Yes! Read
Psalm 19:12-14. Nationally we fail to understand the secret faults of our
upbringing and our strong desire to presume that everything is okay; keeps us in
darkness. The dominion over our nation today is the dominion of darkness,
controlled by Satan and approved by mankind, Romans 1:32. There exists a
Kingdom of Light and we ought to be as Joshua who said in his book, please see –
Joshua 24:15. If you have time, read the full chapter.
I, like the apostle Paul; am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes,
for the Jew first and also for the Greek. (all peoples of the earth). For in it
(the gospel) the Righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith (the Jew
and the gentile); as it is written (in the Old Testament). “The just shall live by faith!” Habakkuk
2:4.
