Right Living

Micah 6:8

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does

the LORD requires of you but to do justice, and to love

kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?  (NASB)

     What we have in our Creator is a holy and righteous God—a living God who requires people to be holy as He is holy—to be other than that of the world.  He calls us to live righteous lives that are gracious and just and motivated by love.  But because of our fallen nature it is difficult for us to act justly and to always show kindness to others.  We are a selfish, self-centered, and pride filled people. We find it hard to humbly believe that we are not in control and are subjected to a higher being, especially when it comes the living God who calls us to obedience for He tells us to either live His Way and follow His rules or suffer dire consequences.  And until you believe and understand who God is and who you are not, you will live in utter darkness until you wake up in the pits of Hell.  

     It doesn't take a superior mind of great intellect to comprehend the simple Truth of God, it simply takes a humble and contrite heart.  Unfortunately, people who have never accepted the Bible as the inerrant Word of God that is absolute in its truth, believe they are the captains of their souls and in charge of their destiny. But it's the ways of the world that they submit to.  For those who deny the existence of God, it's survival of the fittest that fuels their motivation and unbeknownst to them, the devil is their god.  Satan is the false god of this world and his ways are pure evil and wicked.  He is the most powerful enemy of God, and he is directing most of the people in this sinful world away from God.  Humanism stands against the very fiber of God’s holiness, but when the Holy Spirit of God fills the hearts and souls of human beings, their hardened hearts will soften, and living justly and loving others will be their new way of living—walking humbly with our Lord God and living to please Him.  

                                A Whisper of Hope

Listen closely, dear child...and I will teach you a new Way to live.  For the ways of this fallen world are deceiving in their nature and will rob from you the joy of living.  Don’t believe the lies of the Enemy and his wicked followers, because their lies may sound good in the moment, but they are poison to the mind and deadly to the soul.

2 Chronicles 30:9

“For the LORD your God is gracious

and merciful, and will not turn His

face from you, if you return to Him.”  (NKJ)

               The LORD is righteous in all His ways

                  and kind in all His works.
