What Is Right And Wrong?
Isaiah 5:20--- Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
We have
been desensitized to the gruesome ideas of abortion, euthanasia, assisted
suicide, and scientific experimentation. As a result, we no longer treasure
life. We consider life to be expendable unless, of course, it is our own. Many
dark forces in the world come against us to convince us life is not worth
living. Many forces in the world come against us, hoping we will cave in and
give up our Christian Faith. However, we have a power of Light, Love, and
redeeming glory within us called the Holy Spirit. May we always depend on the
Spirit of the Living God to carry us through these dark times when people want
to make what is wrong right and what is right wrong.

A Permanent Fix
Psalm 9:9-10--- The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
In our
lives, problems, adversities, and challenges often seem never to end. But, in
many cases, we can adjust to and work around our troubles. We can even get a
cure for what ails us in our life. We could even get a prescription for what
ails everyone in the world. What would change if the world's problems suddenly
went away, would there be no more war? Would there be no more poverty, or would
poverty reappear? Would there be no more pain, or would pain come again? Would
there be no more darkness, or would night come again? But, tragically, even if
we solved all of the world's problems. Today, tomorrow, the old reasons for the
present problems would begin eating away at us, and all the issues would
return. The old issues would return because what the world does not need is a
quick fix to problems. What the world needs is a permanent fix for our hearts
and souls from the hand of God delivering His healing Light, the hand of God
seeking to touch us with His Love. This hand of God, this hand full of so much
love, did come to us, but we nailed this hand to the cross in the most tragic
crime we have ever committed.

Keeping Your Eyes on Christ
When you think your life is over and you think you are going to taste the defeat of death. The Lord will show you a vision of His victory over death so you may reign in victory with Christ forever and ever. When you are downhearted and low in spirit, the Lord will show you a vision of His great ascension so you may be lifted up into the clouds. When you think you have given all there is to give and you think you have nothing left within you. The Lord will show you a vision of His sacrifice for you on the cross. When all things seem to go against you and you have lost hope. The Lord will show you a vision of the stone being rolled back and His emergence from the tomb. When you are lost and alone, the Lord will show you a vision of His outstretched arms waiting to welcome you home so you can see each other face to face.

The Bible, What Place Does It Have In Your Life?
"Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee."- Psalm 119:11
A home is
a good place for the Bible; the hand is a better place. The heart is yet a
better place. We must learn to hide God's Word in our hearts. And for it to get
in our hearts, we have to read it. We have to study it. How much time are you
spending with the Word of God? Do you wonder why you can't live a pure life? Or
live in victory? Why you cave in when temptation comes? Why can't you be an
overcomer? How much time are you spending daily with the Word of God? Many
spend far more time with the television or Facebook than with the Word of God. And
then they wonder why they fail. The Bible is the book God has given to help you
to live victoriously. Many are just playing at Bible study. You never really
get into it. You say, "Oh, the Bible is a wonderful book." What good
is that going to do for you? What good are the promises in God's Word unless
you appropriate them into your life? Do you have a quiet time, a time when you
get alone with God? Do you get up every morning and saturate your soul with the
Word of God and bathe your soul in the presence of Jesus? Dedicate yourself to
read and study at least one chapter of a book of the Bible Daily! And write
some of it on the tablets of your heart.
