We live in perilous times. Satan knows his days are limited and will stop at nothing to pull us away from a focused walk with God. We need to be alert, operating in a way that reflects the love of Christ to all we come in contact with.
Still, some people who claim Christ are in the habit of being deceitful. Do they not know that God scans the earth looking for the faithful? There is NOTHING that escapes his sight. The problem today is that people have lost their reverent fear of God. They think they can go unseen but scripture tells us that we will all give an account for our actions and words. Satan, on the other hand, is pleased with any activity that goes against what God wants us to be doing and will encourage us to partake in more and more deceitful activity. God says love your neighbor. If we do the opposite of that, then who are we actually showing our allegiance to?
"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven." -Matthew 5:16
"I assure you: whatever you bind on earth is already bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in Heaven. Again, I assure you: if two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them."
-Matthew 18: 18-20
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. FOR WITH THE MEASURE YOU USE, IT WILL BE MEASURED TO YOU." -Luke 6:38
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
-John 13:34-35
"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condenmed. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." -Luke 6:36-37
"I am ALPHA and OMEGA, the beginning and the end." -Revelations 22:13
*God is the first and the last, and everything in between. He reveals things to those who pray and trust in him. I think of OMEGA. Becasue HE is Omega, it all ends with HIM. When we are kneeling at His feet in judgement, will he say to us, rise good and faithful servant? Or will he remind us of the times we acted harshly against a fellow believer? Will he remind us of when we could have been the light and chose darkness instead? Will he say to us, weren't you working TOGETHER to advance my Kingdom? So why were YOU more important in your sight than I AM by the actions you took to achieve something when I gave you My Word and what I expected?! Could the action you took against your brother or sister not have been addressed first in a godly manner? Omega! I cant help but ponder the meaning of this word! May we all be found faithful in the end! To God be the glory and honor forever and ever.
