Thorns in the flesh!
By: Robert A, Searles
When God delivered Israel into the land of their possessions, he made a
covenant with them. He swore to them that he would never break his part
of the covenant, and he expected them not to break theirs.
"And
ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall
throw down their altars; but ye have not obeyed my voice; why have ye
done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before
you; but they shall be thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a
snare unto you." Judges 2: 2. 3.
We who call ourselves Christians, and the sanctified children of God,
are not to be a part of, nor go along with the pagan ways of the world
or the world's way of thinking and philosophy. Our fellowship and
conformity with the world's philosophy will be as thorns in our flesh.
All the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua and the elders
that outlived Joshua, but after Joshua and the elders of Israel had
died, another generation arose which knew not the things of the Lord.
"And
also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there
arose another generation, after them which knew not the Lord, nor yet
the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did
evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim: and they forsook the
Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt,
and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about
them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger."
Judges 2:10,11,12.
Several generations have come and gone since the founding of America
which have not known God, nor considered his works. This is the fault of
previous generations of Christians who have not properly taught their
children the proper knowledge, or respect for God and his works.
For you who are reading this, if you are a Christian and wholeheartedly believe these truths, why not come out of the wallpaper, so to speak, and let your voices be heard – where you work; from the pulpit; from your church; among your close associates. Too many of us are remaining silent, and if it continues to be so, it may lead to disaster
May God's blessing be on America
