December 10
Reflecting a moment upon the last statement made yesterday, we might ponder the viability of such an assertion! Why would anyone, we might ask, desire to see laws established upon the principles of God, anchored in the freedom Jesus secured for man at Calvary, ever become the target of destruction?
The answer to that is simple—many people in our world do not honor the living and true God. Their allegiance is to another entity: to a false god, to a ‘god’ of wrath whose goal is to enslave mankind in bondage to his insatiable lust for power and obeisance; or to a ‘god’ of political power whose goal is to enslave mankind in bondage to penury.
We see the encroachment of these entities into ever-widening areas of the world and into ever-more-susceptible segments of society. As their impact deepens, freedom and truth and hope and joy will erode. There is one counter measure to be employed against the false gods of subjugation and poverty and that is to fortify the wall of protection that the truth of our Jesus brings to us!
As David said in Psalm 1:1, 2, “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the mockers of God; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law does he meditate day and night.” When man is aware of the power of the truth, and embraces truth to his bosom, he is set free! He cannot be deceived by lies, for as Jesus said, “The truth sets you free” John 8:32.
