“Every Scripture is
God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for
reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in
obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity
to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),So that the man of God may be
complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good
work.”
II Timothy 3:16-17
Bang!
It’s one of those
potholes that send hubcaps spinning into the ditch.
It’s also one of
those potholes that jar your teeth and rattle
everything on your
car that can be rattled.
They will even break loose the duct tape you used to hold your exhaust
system together!
In the South they
have sink holes.
Here in the
Northeast, at this time of year especially, we have potholes.
Not ‘mole hill
potholes’ but potholes that rival a meteor strike smack dab in the middle of
the lane you are driving in.
Try to avoid them and
you face oncoming traffic!
Life can also present
us with some potholes.
Some can rattle us to
our core.
It is at those times
we must evaluate our philosophy?
Do we hold to a God-centric
philosophy or are we more comfortable with a wordly point of view?
Are the potholes you
face in life addressed through a ‘God first’ focus or a ‘me first’ focus.
If you only know a ‘me-first-middle-and-last’
approach to those inevitable potholes then maybe it’s time for a realignment.
Maybe it’s time to
recognize that a born again believer needs to
think less like the culture
around him and more like Jesus Christ.
That is the most
effective way to battle worldliness.
Get into His Word and
let His Word get into you.
