There Is A Lot to Learn and Do
May 17th, 2009Communists know that education is important to a society. They found that it is the primary deterrent to the Communist takeover of a nation. So, when they target a country, they also target its educational system, especially in regard to religion and patriotism. They slip in and revise a nation’s history and remove God from their fabric.
There is an application for Christians. In our battle, our adversary wants to “dumb us down.” He knows the power of the gospel (Romans 1:16). He knows what the proclamation of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection can do for people (1 Corinthians 15). He knows the power of truth in our hands (John 8:32).
Jesus responded to each of Satan’s three tests with, “It is written.” He won the battle (see Matthew 4). Ezra was a great servant of God because, ” . . .Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel” (Ezra 7:10).
We can’t do what God says until we know what he says. Once we know we can’t help but do – if we are living by faith.
How is your daily time with God? What new things are you discovering from his word? What are you doing for others because God has directed your steps?
Don’t get distracted from the call of God.
Keep The Light Burning!
