(Acts 5:29 NKJV) But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.
The day and time that we live in likes to try to dictate to us what we can do and what we can’t do. The world likes to tell us what’s OK and what’s not OK. They may say we have the right to abort our children or we have the right to start drinking and smoking at a certain age. They may say that we don’t need God in our schools, oh, and go ahead and sleep around and don’t worry about getting married. It’s OK. Oh and go ahead and marry someone of the same sex… no big deal!!
But here’s the truth. It’s up to us to know the right thing to do by learning God’s way. If it doesn’t line up with Him then we should stay clear of it. We should not conform to their standards. We should not get desensitized, but we should remember who we belong to and how important it is to obey Him and His commandments.
One day I was sitting at my desk and I heard God say these words to me, “It doesn’t matter how much you leave behind when you leave this earth, but what is important to Me is how much you obeyed Me in the things that I tell you to do.”
Let’s not work so hard in trying to leave so much behind. Let’s work at being obedient and living right. Forget about the rest, because if we are obeying God and putting Him first, He’ll take care of everything else.
You are a blessing!!
