We live in a time when what is evil in God’s sight is not merely condoned, but celebrated. What God calls an abomination, men justify and ferociously defend. The greatest offenders of our day are those who dare to criticize or condemn what society has come to champion. Hatred is reserved for the “haters.” “They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly” (Amos 5:10).

Jesus told His disciples to expect such hatred. He chalked up man’s hatred of Him to this one thing: He told a self-righteous, sin-justifying world where they were running afoul of God. Such correction grieved those with no intention to change. “Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way…” (Prov. 15:10).

The light is no friend of those walking in darkness. Jesus knew His coming into the world would provoke a backlash. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved" (John 3:19,20). There is a cost involved in being the light of the world. Jesus was well aware that His willingness to call out evil would result in His death.

Do we want people to like us? Would we be friends with this present evil world? Then we can’t be a friend of God. “… Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4). It is a mark of God’s friends and Christ’s disciples that they are hated by the world for the same reason He was. Don’t be ashamed. Wear their hatred as a badge of honor.

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.” (John 15:18-22)

“The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” (John 7:7)

The bulk of mankind simply does not care about giving God His due. They are those who Paul spoke about in Romans 1. They are not willing to glorify God as God. They do not want to know Him for who He is. They refuse to accept His claim on their life. They are on a stubborn path to fulfill their own will. To anyone who would stand before them, and thwart their progress, they say, “Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us” (Isa. 30:11).

Merely saying we have faith in Jesus Christ for our salvation, is not all that God is after. Jesus said that the Father seeks true worshippers. To be a true worshipper of God is to give Him power, honor, and glory. It is to abandon your right to run your life according to your mind and desires. It is to surrender yourself to His sovereign control. This is what repentance is about. God has never stopped calling sinful mankind to repentance.

Once the heart has turned toward God in sincere repentance, the Spirit of God can begin to reorient a life to all that is pleasing in His sight. Once this foundation of repentance has been laid, we are ready to begin to walk in newness of life. In this life we are no longer living for ourselves, but for Him who died and rose again for us.

Do not be deceived that the purpose of salvation is to merely get you to heaven after you die. God saves us from our sin, and the control it had over our life, so that we can be ruled by nothing other than Him throughout this life and for all eternity. He would that we know Him as both Savior and Lord.

“But now commandeth all men every where to repent …” (Acts 17:30)

“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works ..." (Hebrews 6:1)

Our weakness is both in body and in mind. We are brought to an end of both our strength and our understanding. Try as we might, we reach our limit. We run out of steam. There's nothing left in the tank. We're at our wit's end.

God can do what we cannot. God knows what we do not. We enter into His rest when we cease from our own works (Heb. 4:10). This is not a bad place to be in. Our end is God's beginning. When we sit down, God can arise. Jesus tells us to come to Him when we've been laboring and are heavy laden. There we find supernatural strength and wisdom. There we find rest for our souls.

Don't be afraid of hitting a brick wall. They that wait on the Lord renew their strength. God gives power to the faint. He gives light to those who sit in darkness. Turning away from our own resources, and looking to Him is the key. “... For wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons" (Dan. 2:20,21). He not only has the wisdom and might to change our surroundings; He has the wherewithal to change us.

Leaving things in God's hands doesn't mean we do nothing. It means we recognize that only He has the power to change anyone or anything. We get out of His way. We are careful to only act at His bidding. When we reach our wits' end we stop overthinking a problem. We give our brains a rest. Because ultimately, God hasn't called us to figure people out. He calls us to simply love them.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

To want is to not have. To covet is to want more. Life is rife with opportunities to want more. "Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain ..." (James 4:2).

There are times when our soul is parched and hungry. Where do we go when our heart is in want? When the Lord is our shepherd we do not want because He gives us the "more" that our spirit craves. He makes up the shortfall between what we want and what we're getting from the world of men.

It is a blessed day when one turns from man to God, realizing that this world was never intended to be our "be all and end all." Men will fail us. They will leave us high and dry. They will leave us in want. But those who look to the Lord to be their all, who let every disappointment on the human front only make them more eager to taste and see that the Lord is good, will find in Him more than enough. They shall not want.

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalm 23:1)

The plans we make; the projects we have in mind; the pleasures we hope to fulfill - what are they if God is not in them? We read: "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts" (Prov. 10:4). Men want to realize their own dreams. Their hearts imagine the fulfillment of a glorious destiny. But, "The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain" (1 Cor. 3:20).

The things we prepare for ourselves are nothing next to what God has prepared for us. Our self-generated plans end in shame, not glory. There is no such thing as worldly success. Worldly success is eternal failure. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Only those who have received God's vision for their life, and let the things of His Spirit enter and guide their heart, achieve true success and receive an unfading crown of glory. Though they were unknown and unloved by the world, they will be known as those who loved God more than they loved themselves.

Don't see a vision of your own heart. See the better future God has in store for you if you will walk in obedience to Him.

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit ..." (1 Corinthians 2:9,10)

Who we choose to walk through life with will determine the path our life will take. Jesus taught us to pray that God would not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. But we can lead ourselves into temptation and trouble by who we hang out with. "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed" (Prov. 13:20).

Our life can take a fatal turn when we envy the life sinners are leading and wish to run in their circle. "Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them." (Prov. 24:1) The sinners Jesus befriended were a mission field to Him. They did not influence Him; He influenced them.

Choose your friends wisely. The worst wrong turn brings us into an environment which we would have been better off avoiding. "Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away." (Prov. 4:14,15)

"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." (1 Corinthians 15:33)

All I really cared about before my conversion was my feelings. As a natural, carnal man, I fed my senses through the things I saw and heard. I tasted and saw that the things of the world were "good." I deemed the world a wonderful place because it offered me a sensual feast. There was no end to the entertainment that enthralled my soul. I couldn’t get enough of what was out there.

But when the Lord opened my eyes to the spiritual reality that I had been ignorant of, I marveled at the nothingness I had been mesmerized by. What vanity had consumed me! I had been sleepwalking through life, all the while believing I was living the “good life.” But the music and movies that fueled my existence were a sad substitute for the abundant life that God had in store for me.

Never envy the sensual person. There is a deep emptiness in him because he is not drinking from the Fountain of Living Waters. He is “sensual, having not the Spirit.” Jesus said: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

What does it profit us to have had our soul stroked by the finest touches the world has to offer, but to miss out for time and eternity on the pleasures found in knowing God?

The God who has made you has not made you in vain, or for vanity. He has made you for Himself. He has made you to know and enjoy Him forever. He is better than all this world has to offer. Don’t live and die under the world’s trance.

“But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit." (Jude 1:17-19)

Because God has created all things for His pleasure (Rev. 4:11,) it is incumbent upon us to know what the will of God is for our life. "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is" (Eph. 5:17). At times, our will can clash with God's will. What He would have us do is not what we want to do. At such times we are at a crossroads: will we love ourselves more than God; or, will we love God more than we love ourselves?

To walk in the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, or the pride of life, is to walk according to our own pleasure. We have become lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God (2 Tim. 3:4). To truly love God we must always be at the ready to declare: “... Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done" (Lk. 22:42).

The life of a lover of God and follower of Jesus is one of self-denial. We cannot be Christ's disciple if we love our own life in this world. Discipleship entails self-sacrifice. Love for another is proven by the laying down of one's life. God expects us to love Him to such a degree that we will take hold of a cross when that is His good pleasure for us.

There is a beauty in true love for God that captivates His heart. He sees. He knows those that are His. The sacrifices made are a sweet smelling savor to Him. And whatever has been lost is nothing compared to His compensation, in this life and in the next.

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9).

"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:17)

The Old Testament prophets had one legitimate boast: they knew and understood the heart of God. This is the gulf that separates those who truly belong to God and those who profess to know Him. Have we entered into a heart fraternity with God? Do we feel what He feels? Are we moved by what moves His heart?

Jesus told the religionists of His day: “Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you …” (John 8:55). How close was the Son to the Father? He dwelt “in the bosom of the Father” (John 1:18). He declared: “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). Where others were at best God’s acquaintances, Jesus was His bosom friend and confidante.

This is the mark of the true man or woman of God: they are attuned to the joys and sorrows of their heavenly Friend. They “get” God. They know when He is happy; they know when He is hurting. They hear Him say of His unfaithful spouse: “… I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a wh***ng after their idols” (Ezek. 6:9). They have entered into His longsuffering; but they also know when His judgment is about to be unleashed. “Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting” (Jer. 15:6).

What a privilege it is to be allowed into the inner chambers of the heart of God. Whatever else a person may have in life, there is nothing comparable to such an experience. All that we could gain in this world is nothing next to the glorious Creator and Ruler of the Universe giving us access to the secrets chambers of His heart.

“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7)

“Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 9:23,24)

God has a way for us through any difficulty. Those who diligently seek Him, find His way. To be at our wit’s end; to be stuck between a rock and a hard place; to be bowed down with trouble, is not uncommon. “… But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Cor. 10:13)

The only question is whether we are willing to let the Lord be our Shepherd and lead us in paths of righteousness. God promises He will instruct us aright, but admonishes us: “Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee” (Ps. 32:9.)

Do we want God’s way of escape; or do we still want to handle things ourselves? Perhaps leaning to our own understanding has gotten us into a mess to begin with. Or maybe we’re in a wilderness through no fault of our own. Either way, we can’t afford to be our own savior. God stands ready to help us if we will but look to Him.

The end of going our own way isn’t pretty. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov. 14:12). Find God’s right way through the wilderness you’re in, and you will discover a blessed ending to your most vexing trial.

“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” (Psalm 32:8)
