Pastor Delaine's Weekly Wednesday Greeting - April 23
Greetings! There have been few times in American history when people who reject God and His Word have more proudly sided with evil. Many confidently and brazenly insist that concerns about the sanctity of life, the right of parents to protect their children, honesty and moral decency are no longer valid. They brag that they are building a new and better foundation free from the constraints that have held our culture back. The author of Proverbs 12:3 did not agree: Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots. Proverbs 12:3 NLT The word “wickedness” refers to philosophies and behaviors that fly in the face of decency and morality. The wicked praise evil and make fun of morality. They long for a society free of all the rules that irritate them. Will their plans make a better world? Our proverb insists: “Wickedness never brings stability.” In other words, evil never built anything that is established, settled or stable. Anything built on wickedness is doomed to crumble. On the other hand, notice what happens when God’s Word and His righteous standards are honored: “but the godly have deep roots.” Those who live lives committed to integrity and holiness will not suffer the fate of the wicked. Their lives take root in and are held steady by God’s Word. They will never be shaken or totter. Their roots go deep and their future is secure. Each week we have the choice of whether to side with the wicked or the godly. Look at our verse again. Which sounds better to you? Blessings! Delaine |
