A
Weekly Devotional – perilous times – Personal Meditation
Comment: The ability
to do things during a day in this land is a subject of concern in these
troubling times, yet we hardly discuss the sources that drive us. If we are
students of the WORD of God, we understand that there are only two sources.
Good and Evil, these are active opponents in the lives of us humans. However,
most of us would say that we are good and do good. While, only a few would say that
they do evil. This conclusion is a human error and here is why! We cannot
separate good from evil in the course of a day, individually while seeking to
do good we are motivated to do evil as well! Now I know this sounds a bit obscure,
but notice what Satan says to Eve. Genesis 2:5 – For God KNOWS that in the day
you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, KNOWING “good
and evil”.
Devotional: In this
fallen condition of ‘knowing good and evil’ we are our own ‘god’ and we have
deserted the Sovereign God. If we were to look at “any” one individual, we
could certainly pick him or her apart and find this co-existing 'good and evil'. Current events
in our liberal and fake media sources of today proves this point, but what
about the nation? I am reminded of a the nation Israel during those days when
she rejected God. The days when “Judges” ruled and in the book of Judges, in
the last verse of the book we read. “In those days there was no king in Israel;
everyone did what was right in his own eyes".
As a nation we have taken this thought a step further; we have a king,
yet we seek to do what is good and right in our own eyes, YET evil prevails. These are the days we now live! 2 Timothy 3:1-7 – But know this, that in
the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control,
brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.
And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into
households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away
by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
