Thoughts From a Random Mind

Note: Since I feel the Lord has been speaking to my heart in a special way at work recently, I've decided I would type them out and call them 'Thoughts From a Random Mind'. Just a little something different for a bit. 'Thoughts from a Random Mind' is the title of my 2nd published book ... a 365 day devotional. Yes, my mind can tend to be very random at times. Makes for interesting times. (lol) Love y'all! rlkeller

THE FATAL FLAW

     When someone commits a heinous crime or makes a horrendous mistake in their life and during a time of soul searching finds Christ, there are some people who say “Oh, that’s such a good thing. I’m glad he found something he feels will help him.” The fatal flaw in that thought process is that scripture tells us ALL have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). The flaw is compounded because mortal man compares himself to other mortals rather than their creator. Those who choose to not believe in the existence of God have no perfect standard to compare to, so they find themselves at a severe disadvantage. The sad part in that is that they don’t realize the severity of their situation. Those who are God conscience, at the very least, must understand that comparing themselves to those other imperfect people around them will get them nowhere and will only give them a false sense of security. When we compare ourselves to the Lord we come up wanting on all fronts. Seek to imitate Christ in your daily life. He is our advocate in this life. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing! rlkeller

     “This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son]. There is no distinction, since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving]sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation by His blood [to be received] through faith.” – Romans 3:22-25 ^{Amplified Bible}
