SOMETHING TO DO
Today's reading: Psalm 99-101
"I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all crooked dealings; I will have nothing to do with them. I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride." Psalm 101:3-5 NLT
How long has it been since any of us have turned off a television, or walked out of a movie theatre, due to the raunchy scenes and inexcusable language?
Or backed out of a deal because the fine print left questions in your spirit?
How long has it been since we have said 'no' to something because it was wrong--no if, ands or buts about it, wrong?
Who among us has stopped a conversation among friends, even and especially Christian friends, because another person was being gossiped about?
How often do we stop ourselves from puffing up with pride, or allowing the spirit of 'better than' from rising up with in us?
There is plenty for us to do as we grow into the likeness of Christ.
No, we probably won't change the world--but we will take accountability for ourselves, and maybe, just maybe, impact the small part of the world in which we live!
