“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:5
We are living through trying times. There is so much evil, chaos, confusion, and uncertainty all around. So we try to accept everything and nothing at the same time.
Some believe in a upper Being, but not in God. Scientists molded the theory of evolution to align with the knowledge of man, but refute the knowledge of God.
So much ideals that have obstructed our vision along the way. We stray from the Spirit but come back to its safety when it’s convenient. We walk into sins for the momentary pleasure and satisfaction, but return to the altar because God forgives. We worship God in the privacy of our homes, but do not stand up for His name amidst a crowd of unbelievers.
Friend, it is time to erase the gray area. Time to erase the ifs, buts, or maybes.
From corruption behind the pulpit, to uncleanliness inside the altar, the gray areas see to have grown among God’s people even in his House.
When you come before God, know that every shade of you has to bow at His throne of mercy. Your thoughts, your words, and your deeds. It is time to surrender all.
Perhaps you steal, lie, or keep malice sometimes. Perhaps you are sleeping with destruction, nurturing habits that make you feel unworthy to come to the Throne.
God still wants it all – every single part of you. The party animal, the promiscuous one, and the best-dressed church goer in you must all come together to erase that gray areas.
I can imagine how many ‘church folks’ have looked at you in disdain or disappointment because of the life choices you have made or are currently making, causing you to walk even further into temptations and away from the place of worship.
I also wonder what imaginations creep through your unguarded mind that tells you that you have strayed too far from grace to be welcomed again by the Most High.
Do you know that the power of God has stricken down imaginations and every high thing or person that exalt itself against the knowledge of God?! God knows you and He still wants you, so how can anything or anyone tell you different?
The Lord knows that the enemy is counting on your hopelessness and loneliness. The enemy wants you to shade in that gray area that makes it okay to accept everything but commit nothing.
But God says you are still His! And He still knows you by name!
May God in His infinite wisdom help us erase the false notions of man that we have long embraced, and may He that still sits on the Throne also grant us the will to bring every area of our lives to Him willingly in Jesus name. Amen.
