The Valley of Decision
For years followers of Jesus Christ have been praying to God, praying that they would be free to worship Him, thousands upon thousands around the world, thousands in North Korea. God has heard their prayers.
We’ve had soft-spoken, wimpy leaders who are unable to stand for what is right in the eyes of God. We now have a man in the highest office of the land with the backbone, to tell the truth. Men should worship God and not the government. In North Korea, you must worship the government. Kim Jung Un is a god; you must obey him. Around the world, people suffer the edicts of ungodly men. Donald J. Trump says no. In front of the whole world and to the embarrassment of much of the “swamp”; he boldly says what others don’t dare. There is a right and there is a wrong. Like Eve, we believe we can know the difference between the two. That simply isn’t so.
Choose this day whom you will serve. Will you serve God or will you serve the government? Do your blessings come from the government or do they come from God? Our lives are filled with choices. Those choices form our habits. We make a habit of how we serve or don’t serve God. We have our routines, we do things our way; we assume as long as we’re doing “good” things, we must be doing the right thing. It’s either a life of faith or a life of works; it should be both.
We should fear God and not the government. Choose leaders who don’t accommodate your sin and don’t applaud the killing of children.
We make our choices, so many choices, a lifetime of choices; we’re continually in the valley of decision.
