Revelation
3:15-16 says:
15 I
know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you
are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!
Examine
yourself. Be honest with yourself. Where do you fit in this
scripture? Are you cold or hot, or are you merely lukewarm?
Are
you totally against Christ = Cold?
Are
you on fire for the Lord = Hot?
Or
are you afraid of what others may think of you? Are you afraid to
stand up against evil in front of your peers, your friends, or even
your family? Do you sit in the lunchroom at work with your coworkers
and join in the gossip about other coworkers, your boss or the
company? Do you listen as someone tells you a dirty joke and laugh
along with them at the punchline because you want to “fit in”?
My
friend, you know the difference between right and wrong, good and
evil. Make a public stand and do what's right. People are watching
you and even testing you from time to time to see how you will react.
Everyone
is searching for peace in their life. Become a shinning example of
where and how people can find that supernatural peace that passes all
understanding that can only come from Jesus Christ. As you surrender
you mind and heart to Jesus Christ, you will also find that perfect
peace. Paul assures us in Philippians 4:8-9:
8 For
the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of
reverence and is honorable and seemly,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and
lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious,
if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is
anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take
account of these things [fix your minds on them].
9 Practice
what you have learned and received and heard and seen in
me, and model
your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of
untroubled,
undisturbed well-being) will be with you.
Rest
in His Peace.
In
Christ's Service,
