Today's Devotion: Isaiah 54:17 (New International Version) - no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD.
God spoke these words to His chosen people. The power of the Lord is on our side. He keeps his promises and protects his chosen people.
Today's Comments: I have been rather remiss in keeping up my blog. My primary excuse is because I have been so busy with school work. However, for the first time in a long while, I feel a bit less pressure and so I am going to try to make a better effort to continue my writing.
Suffice it to say, we are also God's chosen people, and we are protected by God's power and might. War is not physical; it is spiritual, as well. And there is a lot of spiritual warfare going on around us. As a result, we need to pray for God's protection, and we need to obey his commandments.
Proposition 8 is a good example of one of the issues that is eating at our very souls. I just finished my term paper for Theology 1 entitled The Doctrine of God and the Definition of Marriage. In it, I attempt to show that there is nothing biblical about same-sex marriage. Instead, in my opinion, our society has become so corrupted since the fall of man, that which is considered by God as vile and sinful, has become acceptable, because man has put himself at the center of his worship and has pushed God away. And, considering the escalation of court ordered social changes, we may need God's protection before the whole thing is over. Let us pray, therefore, that, in our acts of disobedience, that God does not abandon us as His people.
