This morning as I was praying and then studying, I stopped for a moment to check Facebook.\u00c2\u00a0 :)\u00c2\u00a0 It has become such a part of me, that I check at the oddest times of the day.<\/p>\n
I’m glad I did today.\u00c2\u00a0 There was a video posted by a friend… and it got me to thinking.<\/p>\n
As I opened my Bible to Proverbs 21, I began to read.\u00c2\u00a0 21:2 says, “Every way of man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.”<\/p>\n

This is so true.\u00c2\u00a0 In today’s society, there is a blur of what is right and wrong, because no one will stand for right (which is laid out for us in the Bible)!\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone person has made up their own mind what is right or wrong. We live in a world that is so afraid of encroaching upon someone else’s values that they compromise their own.\u00c2\u00a0 There “appear” to be no absolutes.<\/p>\n
“But the Lord pondereth the hearts”.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, I want to be in the place where I am following after God, and that I am speaking and living in His absolutes… so that as He searches my heart, He will find a servant, and seeker of truth. Many people claim to be “Christians” or followers of Christ, but any part of the Word of God that is offensive to them, they discard as not being for “them”. \u00c2\u00a0 I was taught that we were to take the whole Word of God, not taking away from or adding to it! I want to view right and wrong with God’s eyes, not my own.\u00c2\u00a0 I want to be pliable in His hands, and stand firm on His word.<\/p>\n
The chapter continues… vs. 15 “It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.”\u00c2\u00a0 Amplified version, “When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous (the upright, in right standing with God), but to the evildoers it is dismay, calamity, and ruin.”<\/p>\n
As I read these scriptures, I could already see a courtroom.\u00c2\u00a0 Justice prevailing.\u00c2\u00a0 It is, unfortunately, a common sight to see the “evildoer” feeling the dismay, calamity and ruin over what is Justice, what is right!\u00c2\u00a0 So many today, don’t ever feel regret for their wrong doing… it is the system that is wrong… it is the laws that need to be changed.\u00c2\u00a0 There has to come a time when we just begin to take responsibility for what we choose to do, what is right and wrong in our sight.\u00c2\u00a0 There is such a thing as Absolutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Right and Wrong.\u00c2\u00a0 We choose what we do.<\/p>\n
What will God see in our hearts today?\u00c2\u00a0 Right or Wrong?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
