Justify

Hi Peeps,

Today’s Quote

“It does not take much to justify evil, because unchecked flesh craves sin and will blindly see it as good!”~TB

 

Justif(r)ied

You justify worshipping yourselves by throwing decadent parades glorifying your own image. You publicly glorify the defilement of your bodies, claiming freedom and self-revolution yet you are a slave to your own depravity.  You lure people with sweet words and songs, only to manipulate them into doing your bidding under the guise of being “nice”. Of course, if one doesn’t bend to your will and kneel on their knees, it’s their fault! You justify the cruel treatment of foreigners citing the very same corrupt laws that enslave you. Yet you say you love the Lord. You will be judged.

Readjust

Friends, it’s time to make some adjustments. Have you not studied the readings? Are you arrogant enough to believe that we are above the same fates as Judah and Israel? Do not be surprised when judgment floods the land, crushing the blind and the corrupt. Do not be surprised when your cries to the Lord for relief and mercy fall on deaf ears. He will give you the same silence that you gave the oppressed. Enjoy the festivities now because they are surely coming to an end.

Today’s Question

Are you still justifying or are you making adjustments to turn to the Lord?

Enjoy the reading

Psalm 70

1 Please, God, rescue me! Come quickly, LORD, and help me. 
2 May those who try to kill me be humiliated and put to shame. May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace. 
3 Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!” 
4 But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!” 
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O LORD, do not delay.
