As believers in Christ we are to love the Lord first and foremost and let his Spirit lead and guide us thru this hazy existence. He must be our top priority. It isn’t always easy, especially when family is involved, but scripture says family will be divided over faith issues (scriptural citation), friends will become enemies. We must be prepared to lose everything for the sake of Christ. It may not come to that, but we cannot allow this world to alter the course we are on. We can’t let worldly things dictate our mood or decision-making. What’s right is right and true will always be and what’s wrong and false shall always be that way. You can’t alter reality to suit your own beliefs. You also can’t alter your beliefs to suit your reality. As I’ve said many times before, God is the only constant in a sea of inconsistency. Let him be your anchor. Don’t let the wiles of the devil and this world’s sinfulness grab you by the throat.
You are a child of the King and you will always be his child. Let other agendas fall by the wayside. We are to follow one and not multiple leads for that will lead to chaos. We must train our ears to hear one voice and not a multitude of voices. Tend to family issues and events but not to the exclusion of all else. Practice the godly traits of mercy, compassion, patience, loving kindness and forgiveness each day. Be Christ to a lost world. Stand your ground in the face of all opposition. Stand up against social injustice. Always think, speak, act and react based on biblical principles and nothing else. A silent Christian is no threat to Satan; it’s when we begin to speak up on behalf of freedom and righteousness that he moves against us. Do what is right and know that God is pleased with you. Love God above all else and allow that love to motivate you continuously. The Word of God is truth and light. Wear it like a banner of hope across your chest. May God bless our efforts on his behalf daily. Amen. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing! rlkeller
