Christ Before Me, The World Behind Me

 


Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. Romans 16:17

The times we are living in now in the western world are extremely divisive. Between the pandemic and elections it has been hard on relationships with family and friends. This is right out of Satan’s playbook for creating chaos, division, and confusion. 

For instance if I dare mention a candidates name or something about the media I will be jumped on by people who think I am trying to make them think a certain way. I can’t do that only the Holy Spirit can. I was blamed once about writing about politics. The world has been political since Jesus walked the Earth and earlier. Can’t escape it. 

My goal in writing is to help the reader have hope that everything will be okay if you keep your eyes on Christ and not on this world and its’ ideas and problems. You are to be in the world but not of the world. It saddens me that people can’t hold an opposing opinion without an argument ensuing. This is not God honoring. Try to live in peace with all men. God can help you.

PRAYER: Today I say thanks for another day of life. Thanks for freedom. Help me to live in peace and not get stirred up by this world as I know you are in control. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
