Receiving A Badge of Honor!
-
Have you noticed when you try to do good
all by yourself, it is exceedingly hard? God knew you would have
trouble with that. God says, come to Him in Jesus name. He will
help you, when you are tempted to do wrong, and make the decisions
do the right thing instead. Blessings come as you obey God. God
knows what is good for you. He knows what will cause you trouble
and heartache. He has commanded we live in honor to our commitments.
The Bible says, "...No
temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God
is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can
bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out
so that you can stand up under it."
1 Corinthians 10:13
The dictionary says that to "adulterate"
something is "to make it impure or add something which does
not belong."
When God brings a man and woman together
in marriage, it is His perfect will they be together forever,
until death parts them. He created us to be faithful in our commitments
and loyal to each other. When a person acts on their feelings
and destroys a family God has put together, He calls this adultery.
God can help us say "NO" to drugs,
to impure thoughts or actions, and to being disloyal. God will
correct wrong feelings if we ask Him. When we agree with God,
His wonderful peace and joy will return to our hearts. God's
"Badge of Honor" is also a "Badge of Courage."
He will give us the courage to deny our feelings and be lead
by His Spirit!
Blessed Are You!
Our hearts can remain pure when we love
with God's great love. When we put our trust in what God says
is right instead of how we feel, God calls us peace makers. We
are blessed when we do things His way. Living as God would have
us live, with loyalty to God and others, is our "Badge of
Honor." Being a peace maker will bring blessings to us!
God will call us His children. We must tell others that God gives
us the power to honor our commitments and live with integrity
and honor!
Gramma Cherbear and her Critters honor
their commitment to love each other forever, no matter what!
They look for the good in each other everyday. They remember
to be careful of each others feelings. It is important they put
the needs of others before their own. God helps them as they
pray together and He keeps the desires of their hearts pure and
clean. God gives them His Badge of Honor when they are faithful
to each other.
It is not always easy to live with integrity
and honor. Others may not understand our desires to please God
instead of ourselves. When they see good choices leading to good
results, they will see God at work in us. They will know our
God is faithful to do as He promised and provide our way of escape
from sin. God brings good from the choices we make which tell
Him He is first in our lives.
