Turn Back

I haven't posted on this blog for over two years now because I got busy doing other things and I just never got back into it. My zeal for the things of God wanned and I did not have  the enthusiasim for continuing because I let other things take the place of my time with God, I think the Bible calls that Idolatry. That's a pretty strong word for too much television, computer (surfing, news, sports, social networks) music, reading  and too little of the things of the spirit, Huh? Well I think that is exactly what it is. It is not that these things are bad,  in themselves unless we indulge too much in the world and our hearts turn from the precepts of the One True God. When we do this we are turned away and our hearts become cold toward Him.  But if we turn to Him, Spend time with Him in His word, prayer, fellowship and meditation our relationship will strenghten and we will become more like Him. As we can see in the scripture below not only will our relationship grow and blossom but these things will be planted in our children and all of our descendents.

Isaiah 59: 21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the LORD.



In reading this scripture we need to also understand that other things can be passed to other generations. Have you ever heard like father like son, or like mother like daughter. We have to be careful what we are passing along the future generations. It it an obsessive love of sports, hunting, fishing, shopping, boating, traveling' Please don't missunderstand these things are not bad in themselves but If we are going to be fanatic about anything lets make it the love of God, the Grace of Jesus Christ and Fellowshiping with the Holy Spirit. OH HOW HE LOVES US!!!
