There’s an old saying that 'You can’t
put a square peg in a round hole' (or vice versa!) —
and that’s true! Yet this is exactly how some people
morally live their lives.
On one hand, they like the idea of God, salvation, and eternal life,
but on the other hand are living life based on their own
personal perspectives, philosophies,and preferences that are
commonly acceptable to the world at large. `
On the contrary, the Apostle Paul instructs us in
1 Corinthians 2:16 (as does today’s scripture verse)
that we are instead to have “The Mind Of Christ“
-- that is, to have our thinking be in alignment with God and His Word,
and not “spoiled through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)
In a world where we are constantly being bombarded on the web,
television, and entertainment media it is very, very easy to
have our perspectives on thinking and values 'bent' according to
worldy values...and not Godly ones.
So friend, take a moment and ask yourself...
Are you BENDING the Truth To Fit Your Life
(or) BENDING Your Life To Fit God’s Truth?
