“The Faithfulness of Our Lord”
 
everything serves
 
by Dona Hake
 
 
 
 
It matters not if one believes in God or not, for He exists, and He is faithful !   I can not fathom being one that insists on thinking there is no God.    When I look around at this beautiful world and it’s wonders I know that all was planned and created by a loving and faithful God.      I know that those of you reading this are believers, and I know you know  you acknowledge Him to be  a faithful and loving God.    Therefore, He desires that our whole heart be toward Him, and that we would not have any double mindedness as we release our faith.   In those times in which our feelings and emotions try to lead us away from that which we know is true, may we stop and remind ourselves that our Lord is faithful.   He is never changing, and He does not plan to change!  
 
 
 
 
 
I can remember hearing a coach being interviewed, and it was such an awesome interview.   He was a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ  and he stated, “I’m not interested in being politically correct, I’m interested in being spiritually correct!” Later in the interview it was mentioned that someone twittered the following comment relative to his comment and the tweet was, “It is no wonder our youth have no moral compass.”    Again may I mention that because our Lord is faithful, we also know that His Word and standards to live by do not change.   They are rock solid.   His Word is our moral compass.
 
 
 
 
This politically correct thing has gotten so out of hand, it is unbelievable.   Here it is defined:
 
Politically correct  is marked by or adhering to a typically progressive orthodoxy on issues involving especially ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or ecology.
 
 
 
 
Can you see that we are in a time where such corrupt thinking is affecting all of us but more so our youth and little ones?   Again, as we continue to keep our minds renewed to the truth that our God is faithful, He NEVER changes, we therefore know that His Words and all His statutes we are to live by NEVER change.   Let us never altar what the Word of God is saying to fit a lifestyle that we know does not align with His Word.   When we start to accept other standards as truth, we and our children will begin to be confused about what is really true.     I believe the Lord is holding us responsible to live and speak His truth and let it be in our behavior in every aspect of our living.  
 
 
 
Let us not be suppressed by the lies of the enemy, and be tempted the keep our light under a bushel, but rather sit it on a lampstand that all may see the faithful Light of an ever living God!  Let us stand against political correct speech, and let our speech and behavior be spiritually correct!
 
 
 
 

Matthew 5:14-16   (DARBY)

14 *Ye* are the light of the world: a city situated on the top of a mountain cannot be hid.
15 Nor do [men] light a lamp and put it under the bushel, but upon the lamp-stand, and it shines for all who are in the house.

16 Let your light thus shine before men, so that they may see your upright works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
 
 

I just want to encourage you to hold fast, do not be moved, for if you are a believer, you serve a God that is faithful. This faithfulness has extended from the moment His hand created the sun and the moon. As He placed the stars in the sky, and created every beautiful thing you enjoy today, remember He is faithful. In the present moment that you are living, He is ever so faithful and desires to be a part of your world. Nothing ever changes with God.

 

Psalm 119:90-91 Living Bible
“Your faithfulness extends to every generation,
like the earth you created;
it endures by your decree,
for everything serves your plans.”

 

Ecclesiastes 3:14 (CEV)
“Everything God has done will last forever;
nothing he does can ever be changed. God has done all this,

so that we will worship him.”
