Lately I have asked myself how come we are more scared of laws of the land than the laws of God. The world has changed so much since I was a child. When I was growing up life was simple, loving did not come with a price like today. Family was valued and God was feared. Today, years later, a lot has changed and love has become more of a convenience and viewed as a status quo. Family is seen as a nuisance and people do whatever they feel like without caring who they are hurting. I hear they call it ‘man eats man society’.
When did we start glorifying the law of the land and dismiss the law of God?
For example; the common law states that one shall not kill, steal and not pay taxes etc. which most of us are scared of breaking because we know this can land us in jail or on a death sentence. Doesn’t God’s law state the same yet we dismiss His wrath upon us which is death. How come we are no longer scared of the laws of God anymore?
We tend to behave like breaking of God’s laws has no consequences. It is as if one is doing no wrong so long as everyone is doing it. Following a wave/crowd does not mean it is right. I have seen people follow fashion trends, fall into peer pressure because they want to fit in. Why can’t you just stand out and be your own man/woman? Is it that bad not to fit in?
For example; fornication, adultery has been accepted in the society such that if one is not indulging in it, he/she is considered as not trendy. Having sex with more than one partners earns you respect in your peer group. If you are a virgin you are viewed as ‘backwards’. It is stated clearly in the bible that fornication, adultery is a SIN. Sex is supposed to be sacred, between MAN and WIFE, but nowadays it’s a pass time pleasure for anyone and everyone. Does this mean that God was crazy when He gave these laws?
The excuse I hear people give is that ‘I am human’. My heart breaks every time because this is the lamest excuse we can give; God gave us a very powerful tool which is our mind. However, we no longer use it because we do not want to tire. The mind can send signals to our bodies as well as be used for self control. We do not try hard enough because we know there is always something to fall back on ‘I am human’. How long shall one use this as an excuse? When shall you stand up for what you believe in, your principles, your dos and don’ts? For how long shall you follow the crowd?
The ‘I do not care’ attitude has taken over and we have equalized God to a human being that much I believe. God no longer matters to us; He is one of us now (very sad). Forget that His wrath is upon us, what about all the STD s, unwanted pregnancies that lead to abortions? Enough women die every day as they try to abort, yet there are women out there who would even kill just to bear children. Cases of AIDS are on the rise, but people still say it’s a myth. People still do not learn. How sad the society has become. They may say that ‘ignorance is bliss’, but believe me it is not. Open your eyes and ears, hear and listen to what the world is saying. Every action has an equal reaction. Look around you; learn from what is happening to you and others because the world is in trouble. We are perishing due to our own sins and unless we repent and change our ways we are doomed. The earthquakes, floods and calamities happening lately are a sign yet we do not realize it, we think it’s natural.
Heed God’s words…He said, “My people shall perish for lack of knowledge”.
Regardless of how we twist His words, come up with our own laws, God’s law still stand.
