No Time for a Breather

It appears that weshould take the Bible seriously when Jeremiah states,
 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" - 17:9. Despite this, I am happy that Jeremiah also states " Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is." - 17:7.  Every day we are appalled by the cruel, inhumane, and pernicious acts that are being committed among us humans. We may wonder what sparks such cruelty and untowards behaviours.

If we consider that the Bible states that we are sinful , it is then understandable that we are predisposed to these heinous traits. The bigger picture being the Great Controversy between Good and Evil, between God and the Devil. Yes, we are more likely to do evil than good if God is not our helper and the source of our strength.

The Bible teaches us that we need not be the monsters that Satan wants us to be. We can shun the appearance of evil if we surrender to Jesus making Him our all in all - our panacea for man's deficiencies which were ushered in through the fall in the Garden of Eden. Brothers and Sisters we are witnessing the love of many waxing cold because iniquity abounds - Matthew 24:12.

Today things that are immoral, demeaning, and  wrong seemed to be glorified - begging the question where are we heading calling good evil and evil good. The fad is do it, if it feels good, forget about everyone else. In some spheres we have start to use the word "bad" to mean good.

Christ our hope has paid the price on Calvary to redeem fallen man  - we are free moral agents to accept or reject our gift of salvation. However, I pray that we will not reject  but accept Christ into our lives - If you hear Him calling harden not your heart.

Be blessed!
