Proverbs 14:34

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”

I can recall a time when towns debated whether to allow stores to remain open on Sunday. It was as if we considered sin a tangible thing to be dealt with. That attitude may not have been directed from the Lord but from the misguided idea that we can legislate morality.

Those were simpler days, but I am not sure that the heart of man was any more pure back then than it is in our modern world. Sin is sin and rather than observing current trends it has always been a transgression of God’s will for our lives.

Be that as it may, the terrible condition we see in our world today should shake us to the core and cause us to call upon the Lord to hear our prayer. It is only as we allow Him to come into our chaos that we will find answers to our sin problem.

We are called to be the light of the world. That does not mean that we have to occupy a pulpit somewhere, it does mean that we can and should have a voice to speak the words of hope to this old sin sick world. Jesus is our greatest need! Share Him with someone today!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
