December 20
We live in an ever-coarsening world. Our children and grandchildren will not know the delight of TV viewing that generated wholesome laughter and inspired heroism. They won’t be privy to the early movies that always resolved moral issues according to godly mores--and the good guys always won.
Because our society is bombarded by evil and debauchery, our children and grandchildren won’t find it easy to abide in the promise, “The effect of righteousness will be peace and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever (Isaiah 32:17).
Yet, the truth of God is eternal and though it may be difficult to find the path of godliness through the maze of sin’s many alluring side roads, the one who desires to know the Lord in the beauty of His holiness can still find his way to the side of the Savior.
We know that He does not expect us to walk the path alone. He has assured us that He will always be with us. When we allow Jesus to take up residence within—to be Lord of our life—we receive the Holy Spirit as our Guide. When we don’t know where to turn to avoid evil, He will point us in the way of righteousness.
