There are many who started this journey on fire
for the Lord,only to find themselves in a position of compromise.In an effort to
fit in,to be politically correct,or for prestige,prosperity and/or power they
have given into the temptaions,will and desires of this world.They have
compromised their message, their walk and what they once believed in favor of
the joys,toys,treasure and false pleasures of this world.They have eaten of the
kings meat and drank of his wine.
In our story today,we see 4 who refuse to
compromise,they refuse to eat the Kings meat or to drink his wine.We who profess
Christ have to be careful that we don't swallow that which the world tries to
feed us.We must continue to feed on the truth of God's word,and walk in His
spirit,even if it means to stand alone.We can't succome to the doctrine or
spirit of this world and continue to profess to be a child of God.The world is
enemy to the ways of God.The world's food allows us to live anykind of way that
we want.It say" it's your thing do what you want to do", the world is about "me
,myself and I".The world is selfish,selfrighteous,and self serving.The worlds
spirit is one of greed and is uncaring. But we who profess to be children of God,
must esteem others higher than ourself,willing to lay down our life
for a friend.We must bless others with that which God blesses us with, and live
in a way that leads a lost world to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God.
In these times of the self claimed,self named
and the self fame,religion,ministries and church houses there is much compromise.Our religious practices has gotten
further and further from the word of God We have allowed the world to dictate
what a Christian is and what type of behavior is acceptable to God.The bible
says"Jesus Christ the same yesterday,today and forever" which tells me God's
word has not and will not change. Let us live a determined life in Christ.
