BE WISE

JUNE 20TH

Text: Psalm 53:1-3 King James Version (KJV)

1.    The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

2.    God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3.    Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

It is true that life is full of a lot of unexpected twists and turns, but often than not, it is our preparation ahead of such challenge that determines our victory or defeat. When the evil one desires to cut off a Christian from the place of victory, he will often cut them off those who will keep them from misbehaving. This is often when things seem difficult and people come to the conclusion that it is useless serving the Lord with a holy life. We must be careful how we draw conclusions because of certain ugly situations in our lives.

God’s word has assured us that all things, be they good or bad, will eventually work out for our good. But many have forgotten that we do not belong to the same kingdom with unbelievers, even though it may look like they are prospering in sin. We must remember that we belong to a different kingdom and that our Lord will always come through for us. The real blessing of God is His grace released upon your life, not the house, or car you own. As long as you have His grace, you can overcome anything, no matter the opposition. Don’t fall for a cheap blackmail by the enemy to depart from God and godly people because of hard times. Go beyond the shallow waters in your walk with the Lord and in no time God will overwhelm you with His blessings.

Deciding to live outside the word of God, is equal to walking away from the protection and blessing meant for you. Be wise and make the right choice.
