Pastor Delaine's Weekly Wednesday Greeting - July 9

​Greetings!
​
Every so often we need a reminder of the truth about life and what makes it worth living.  The propaganda circulated in our culture insists that a life dedicated to honoring God and His Word is a life wasted on needless, oppressive rules and narrow-minded prejudices. The commonly held view is that the most fulfilling life is found in enjoying what this world has to offer unrestricted by the burden of guilt. But is the propaganda true?

Consider Proverbs 12:3.

Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.
Proverbs 12:3 NLT


The author of Proverbs described two lifestyles and the consequences of choosing each. The first is a life of “wickedness.”  This life is characterized by a distaste for man’s and God’s rules. It celebrates rebellion and is unembarrassed about selfish, degenerate behaviors.

Though wickedness proudly insists it is a superior lifestyle, our verse says it “never brings stability.” It never offers security for the future and in fact produces a life that crumbles when it comes face to face with trials.

The second group of people in our verse is “the godly.” They are known for being upright and innocent. The godly live their lives committed to the standards of God’s Word and avoiding evil.
We are told, “the godly have deep roots.” This is a word picture of the underground part of a plant that anchors it in times of storm and nourishes it throughout its life. So the “godly” by their lifestyles choices, are assured of having what they need to live a healthy life and have a secure footing that can never be shaken even in the worst of times.

Every so often it is good to be reminded about the difference between a life of wickedness and a life of godliness. Ignore all the lies and choose godliness.

Blessings!

Delaine
