Bent Or Buried ↪️🪦

Not to kick things off on too somber a note, but with all that you see going on around us and with all that is in the news, it may just be worth a ponder.

Some of the worst atrocities that we have seen in history, and even many of them that we have seen recently, have been committed by people that have been convinced that what they have perpetrated is right.

Sometimes the warped thinking behind these actions stems from growing up in toxic environments that for years feed them a steady and consistent diet of devilish notions that corrupt their minds and rot their heart.

Our mission as followers of Jesus Christ is to shine the light on the truths that Jesus came to establish and the lies He came to demolish.

Wrapped up in our purpose is to be light to this world and salt to this Earth, which means that we are all, individually and collectively, beacons of hope and Godliness... and keeping the standards and precepts of God held high, we preserve the integrity that God wishes and intends for mankind.

As humans, we are all prone to wander away from the Truth.  Can you not feel it, even as a believer?  We are prone to stray from and leave the God that we love.

We who have the Word of God, sometimes are tempted to want to bend it, to twist what it says and outlines, to suit our own pretexts so that we can convince ourselves, deep on the inside, that what we want to do, is not only right... but also sanctioned by God.

As God's children who have the Word of God written on the inside of our hearts, we often wrestle with ourselves when we try to wrest ourselves out of God's hands.  We try to bend the truth, but our souls resist and so we resort to numbing the voice of God and shun it over and over again, until we figure out how to bury the truth that screams out from deep within us.

There is none more dangerous than one who who would seek to bend, bypass or break God's commands on demand, as needed to soothe their conscience or justify their sin.

Let us then remember, that we ourselves are always accountable to God's unchanging Word... whether it suits us or not... and let us always remember, that ours is the responsibility to stand for the truth of God's unchanging Word, whether it suits others or not.

God's Word, His truth and His commands are always true and always remain the same and can never be Bent Or Buried.
