Time with God - June 26
Sunday 26 June 2022
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”
There is such a thing as absolute truth, despite how ‘good’ and ‘sweet’ popular opinion may seem!
God is not just a power that can be bent in whatever way suits us. God will not be what we want him to be or what we think he should be. He will not behave according to our plans; nor will he adjust his morality to fit our expectations.
Remember, God was here long before humanity existed. God is who he is, not who we want him to be.
Our job is not to decide what God is like, but to find out what he is like. He has a moral nature that defines morality in his universe. He has revealed his moral guidelines in the Bible and in his Son Jesus.
When we start redefining what God has said about morality, or sexuality, or spirituality, or marriage, or love, or any other area of right and wrong, we are setting ourselves against who God is and how he has revealed himself.
Today the Lord is reminding us to go to his word for our guidance on the issues of life. It makes life so much simpler and ultimately sweeter when we trust God’s wisdom and obey him.
How will this conviction affect your interaction with secular people who think it is ridiculous to believe that only one group of people have the truth about religion?
