Good Morning!! Bumper stickers that
read Question Authority. Television programs flaunting rebellion. No Fear, or YOLO(you only live once) printed across t-shirts. Movies
that trivialize God. ...Sadly, these are all signs of our times. Respect, reverence and fear have become distasteful words in today's'
society. A lack of concern or respect for each other, or an abuse of authority has breed a rejection for anyone in
authority,...causing an air of unrest and rebellion,...hatred and even senseless bloodshed.
"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."—Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
A lack of respect for all of mankind, and other distorted attitudes, can be
traced to a lack of reverence toward God. To reverence the Lord means to
treat God and his message with awe. We need to put God first in our lives,...to strive to please Him in
all we do,...to have regular devotional times with Him,...gather in the company of other believers,...to live our
day-to-day lives in a way that honors Him, and shows His Love.
Just remember; People who don't know the Lord, often judge Him by what they see in His followers.
Father, help us to consistently live in such a way that others will sense Your love, and will honor You,...and want to know You more. In Jesus' name, Amen.
"Grace is free,...but it's never cheap."
