God gave us everything, good land, hope, work to be done and children.  We put His law behind us and departed from the way of righteousness only to find a path leading to decay.  The promised riches were short lived, the glory fading, the abundance perishing and our children, now rebelliously few.  What then have we gained if not our independence from God, Himself?  Wasn’t that our intention,to be left alone to serve and follow our own pursuits without God’s interference?  No surprise now that the mocking unbelievers taunt God for His lack of participation in our lives from which we extracted Him.  None of this is the fault of God but began that day when we listened to God’s righteous Words twisted by evil tongue, because our wicked hearts wished to believe we could prosper outside the Hand of God.

We have not prospered but spiraled from fury to chaos to glutenous orgy of food and flesh.  Our children happily consume everything in sight, expecting, craving and demanding, More!  They do not know God because we didn’t teach them and we have forgotten the rich words we learned in our youth.  We have soured to the things of righteousness; justice, truth, service and love.  How now can we blame any of this on God when we alone pursued this path, leaving behind any wisdom of which He warned us?

But Hope remains in the person of Jesus Christ.  A saving belief that purchases new life, everlasting in service of the One True King.  A life that comes with constant conviction, reminder and instruction to save us from those cravings leading to invariable sin.  A life of service to others, forgoing self as priority, knowing fully that service to be right and rewarding.  A life that refreshes, renews, revitalizes all the pain and worry of a past spent running from God.  This life is Christianity in a true form, not just practiced for perception’s sake.  A life of knowing instead of guessing, freedom instead of slavery, power in a world where weak cruelty often prevails.  Ask Jesus into your heart.  End this very day the battle that has raged against God since the dawn of man.  Beg Him for forgiveness and truth and He will give you so much more.  Jesus, took away the sins of the world.  Will you give Him yours so that He may rid you of this horrific burden.  Come to the cross and find rest and peace with God, by accepting the invitation from Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
