Psalm 119:19
I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.
God has given us His commandments and He has given us His
inerrant Holy Word to confirm His guidelines for our lives. Yet we have allowed our fellow man to take
the laws of Almighty God and hide them from us by replacing them with the laws
of fallible men.
The laws of fallible men invariably turn toward tolerance of
things that are not pleasing to God and these same laws are used to pressure
one another into accepting wrongful behavior as truth. We must guard against becoming citizens of
this earth and foreigners in God's kingdom.
In this day and time, we must dare to be strangers in our own land.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for providing the way, the
truth and the life that is revealed to us in Your Holy Word. We bless the name of Jesus who is the Word made flesh. Father, we pray that the Holy Spirit may direct us to repent of the things in our lives
that are not pleasing to You. We ask for
the strength to turn away from these displeasing things and the grace to turn toward all
that is pleasing to You. We beseech You that all of our faith will be in Jesus Christ and not in the world. As we surrender to Your will, equip us, Lord,
to reveal Your kingdom to those around us. We ask all these things in the name of Our Holy Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
