*Say No to the World*
"What ever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord not for men." Colossians 3:23
I saw this saying on my wall today:
"The number of followers you have does not make you more important. Hitler had millions. Jesus had twelve."
I think this quote says so much. In our culture things are being so misused, misunderstood and people are being misguided.
The popular thing to do is go with the ways of the world and pretend things aren't hurting people when they really are. When one chooses to say no to the world they will absolutely have less followers! They will be mocked! This may make one feel inadequate but Jesus never let it turn him against God. Jesus carried out his mission to share Gods grace. Even when spit in the face Jesus knew his worth was not found in submitting to mans requests but his greater value was found in submitting to the Lord and knowing the Lords guidance is all one needs!
The Challenge:
The world may say things are good for you. The world will entice you in by candy coating sin but the ones who say no to the world are the ones that discover true grace. They are the ones that lay shame to rest! Do you choose shame or grace? In your heart you know the difference.
