Weighing in the Balance

When the fear of God is not in the heart of the people, they will call evil good.

In Exodus chapter one, Pharaoh commanded the Egyptian midwives when the Isralite women give birth kill every male child, and if it is female save it alive, but the midwives feared God and did not do as the king commanded them. (Exodus 1:15-17).

The times might have changed but the same evil is prevailing. Every day we hear through media, from Christian's and non-christians alike bashing and calling President Trump evil because he does not line up with their ideal of an American President. Yet, this man is one of the few in authority who has the fear of God in him to know that it is ungodly to have the life of new born babies weighing in the balance.

We can no longer allow our preferences to blind us from standing up for truth according to God's word. We are in a battle for life, both physical and spiritual. When Pharaoh gave the command to kill the male child being born, it was out of fear of the unknown because the children of Israel were growing and multiply and no matter what he did to them they still were successful (Exodus 1: 7-12). Abortion is rooted in the fear of the unknown.

Like the Egyptian midwives, President Trump is as without God as many of us were, walking in darkness until God brought us out into the light of Jesus Christ. But the midwives feared God and because of their fear towards Him, God dealt well with them (Exodus 1:20-21).

If we as believers are truly seeking to live according to the word of God, it should stir our hearts to seek God's face for President Trump to come to the full knowledge of who Christ is and receive salvation, instead of praying him out the White  House. Remember God only answer prayers according to His will, not ours. 

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is  good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. I Timothy 2:1‭-‬4 NKJV

DON'T WAKE THE BEAST!

                My mom had a way of conveying here wisdom in such a way that would make you laugh and think at the same time.  When things weren't going well or she heard of a problem between two people she would often say; "When you find your head in a lion's mouth take your time and draw it out." What she meant was that a lion is a fierce beast, but when he is sleeping he is harmless as a dove. If you are having problem with someone don't get angry and stir anger in the person because you might not be able to escape the fierceness of his or her wrath. Next time you find yourself in a dispute with someone and feel the need to get angry, remember not to wake the beast. It is best to keep calm and walk away than to wake the lion within the person and get devoured.  Proverbs 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

ENDURE TO THE END Scripture Reading Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 2012 has been an interesting year, 2013 will be even a more interesting one.  It is always easy to begin something new with zeal and passion but when situations arise it becomes hard to endure.  Many times we face unexpected problems and because we don’t know how to deal with them we give up and loose hope.     Nonetheless, it will be a prosperous year for those who can endure to the end. The race is not for the swift nor the battle for the strong,  Ecclesiastes 9:11 .  As believers we will suffer many things for the sake of the Gospel. Men will revile us and persecute us without a cause.  It is the plan of the enemy to hold us captive and cause us to lose sight of the future that God has prepared for us. He will do everything to destroy us.  One of his most effective tool since creation has been deception.  In  Genesis 3:1-7 ; it was Satan’s ability to make ...

PURPOSELY SERVING GOD Scripture Reading Daniel Chapter 1 To endure to the end we must purpose in our heart no matter what the enemy does we will not surrender. If the enemy can get us to lose sight of the future and hope God has prepared for us, he will destroy us body and soul.  That is why in  1 Peter 1:13  the apostle encourages us to gird up the loins of our mind. In  Romans 12:2 , Paul tells us to be transformed by the renewing the mind. A part of the armor of God is the helmet of Salvation ( Ephesians 6:17 ). Why is it so important for us to protect our minds from the enemy?  The mind is the battlefield for all thoughts. Whatever we conceive in our mind, we believe in our hearts and what we believe in our hearts is what we speak and give life to. The Bible declares that out of the abundance of the heat the mouth speaks. It is not an easy task for us to stay focus that is why we must purpose in our hearts n...
