A Look at the Book #317

The Devotional
Papa “J” and his thoughts?
From a casual glance it would appear that good and evil have walked, hand in hand throughout time. But the Word of God says plainly that this is not true since one is real and the other is counterfeit. Which kingdom do you live in? You do know the answer! Proverbs 11:5
Yesterday I mentioned something about the latest games that children play, here is an excerpt from a piece of news: (The video game Postal II lets players "go postal" and start a killing spree. You can shoot people in the leg and, if they try to crawl away, douse them in gasoline and set them on fire. You can lunge at schoolgirls with a shovel and when they beg for mercy, go ahead and decapitate them anyway. You can also urinate on burning people while delivering witticisms like "Now the flowers will grow." ) In California children have been band from playing this game, while the video game industry seeks to sue California for a violation of the First Amendment of free speech. I do not know about you, especially young couples with children, but I am about as fed up with this as one can get. The people who make up these evil games are haters of God. Deuteronomy 7:10 and He will repay them to their face. This may not seem to us as the problem solver of this immediate moment in time, but oh how wrong we can be. If the righteous remnant of God's chosen fail to react to these acts of blatant in your face evil, God will take our nation away and give it to some other nation whose economy is thriving, like China perhaps. Proverbs 1:20-33. Yet in all this concern: I could be just a fanatic, I sure hope so don't you?
Hebrews
Hebrews 6:9-12 What peace it is to move into this portion of the devotional. Here we have opportunity to talk with Jesus Christ. We speak sternly at times. I like to think of myself being deep inside the Word of God and coming up to periscope depth once in a while to see what is going on in the world around me. I recommend this to you since the writer here say that he is confident of better things for us who are saved.
What are some of the things that travel along side the saint of God as he or she walks toward the city whose builder and maker is God? Our labors of love in His Name are not forgotten. We minister to our brothers and sister in Christ and they in turn minister to us. Being diligent to serve the LORD increases our assurance and hope endures to the end. These things may not seem important, but are; most important!
Notice; If we are not seeking these better things that Christ deems important, then our walk with the LORD will become like the lazy person found in many passage of the Book of Proverbs; for example; Proverbs 26:13-16. God has provided many witnesses of the past to follow who through faith and patience. As they matured spiritually they learned to rely on the inherited promises of God, this is the same challenge for you and me. That these promises are far greater in value of any riches to be gained or offered by this world. Matthew 4:1-11.
