One GOD
Hosea 4:11, 12
Alcohol and
prostitution have robed My people of their brains.
Longing after
idols has made them foolish. They have
played
the
prostitute, serving other gods and deserting their God. (NLT)
All peoples belong to God
because He is the One who makes us and gives us the breath of life. He sustains
our lives and gives us everything we need.
We belong to God much like a child belongs to their father, and He wants
everyone to understand and believe this truth. God loves us so much that He
gives us a free will and the ability to make sound judgments and intelligent
decisions. But the devil has taken us
into the realm of darkness, sin, and rebellion; deceiving us into believing
that we are gods and have the power to do whatever we like and without
accountability. Therefore, it is God who
is the real enemy and He does everything He can to disclaim our godhood. Many of the people in this world do believe
they are gods, while others believe in many gods, and we can see how the
decadence of this way of thinking is killing our world. We see how manmade wisdom (foolishness) has
poisoned the hearts and minds of its people, and they are being led down a path
of self destruction, false hope and godless living. And we see that most people are either too
busy lusting after worldly things, or they are simply too busy just trying to
stay alive to see the grace of God.
The sinful desires of the
flesh blind us from seeing the Truth and finding the joy of the Lord that is in
His amazing grace. Instead, unbeknownst
to most, they are seeking to fill the emptiness that only God can fill. And because they know so little about the One
who created them, they try to fill their emptiness with things that do not
last—things that are here today, but soon fade away—things that have no eternal
value whatsoever. If you are there and
do not know the One who created you and then saved you, it would behoove you to
do so, because ignorance or pride or any other excuse will not stand on the
final day of God's judgment. It is
foolish to ignore all of God's gracious warnings. It is extremely foolish to follow this dying
world that is killing its babies, mocking its Creator and following the devil
into eternal hell. Do not contribute to your own demise and that of the worlds,
my friend, by acting like a godless god, because you will be judged and
eternally imprisoned!
A Whisper of Hope
I made you, dear child...but not to control you. You can choose to follow anyone or anything
you please. But you need to choose
wisely; use the God given sense and intelligence that I gave you, for your
choices will either lead you to life or death; into the Light or into the
darkness.
Jeremiah
10:14-15
Compared to
God, all people are foolish and have no knowledge at all.
They make
idols, but the idols will disgrace their masters, for they are
frauds. They have no life or power in them. Idols are worthless; they
are lies! The time is coming when they will all be
destroyed. (NLT)
The wise shall
inherit glory, but shame
shall be the legacy of fools.
(Proverbs 3:35)
