God’s children have an enemy that is ceaseless in activity, ever toiling for the destruction of what God has set forth to be good and right. Only as we seek God with our whole being do we come to realize the flood that is rising against us, reminding us of what is to come.
Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
(1 Peter 5:8 NLT)
For one day God’s righteousness will be removed and what the enemy now does in the shadows will one day be done in broad daylight. And on that day though the sun may shine no eye will be able to see what is happening because it is God’s Holy Spirit that allows us to discern righteousness from evil.
Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.
(Romans 1:28 NLT)
There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.
(Proverbs 14:12 NLT)
In the end all roads points to Jesus, for man was not created so that he can save himself but only a righteous, holy God that loved us enough to send His only Son who knew no sin yet was offered as a sacrifice to die so that our debts may be erased. All that is asked of us in return is that we love God above all else and love our neighbor like ourselves so they may also know God’s love. Don’t allow yourself to be blinded by the concerns and worries of this world but be transformed so that the talents and resources entrusted to you may be spent on the eternal not the temporary.
