Today’s Thought “When Listening
Becomes Dangerous” G. Ward
Galatians 4
8 At a time when
you did not know God, you became slaves to things that by nature are not
gods; 9 but now that you have come to know God, or rather
to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and destitute
elemental powers? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again?
“We wish you a Merry Christmas” may certainly be a song sung
in this great season, yet remains a true sentiment from believers in Christ
Sufficiency to all! We desire (for any) what’s been granted us, despite our
having violated HIS commands, yet desirous to sin no more (Ro.7:17-20) and
whereas we know how faith remains difficult – because of an incessant war with
the flesh, we keep pressing. We know of a daily pursuit of God’s Word that
allows our perseverance in HIM and how necessary it is to meditate on those
actualities for every moment presented, that denies our reactionary responses,
but seeks to be administrators of HIS peace (John 14:27), and we know that
others may not reciprocate that same, yet, our driving force remembers, “such
were some of us” (1 Cor.6:9-11). We know the essentiality in precluding no
other message is worthy to acknowledge, for its comparability is similar to
ingesting a little poison…
