Isaiah 26:12-13
Lord, you will grant us peace; all we have accomplished is really from you. O Lord our God, others have ruled us, but you alone are the one we worship.
When life brings all kinds of twists and turns who are you going to trust? The earth offers all kinds of pleasures, but will you give in to your flesh or will you live by the spirit? The Bible says to not get drunk on wine, but be filled with the Holy Spirit. God wants us to live according to His ways. We can't let our fleshly desires get the best of us. We have to submit to God's plan everyday.
Whatever happens in our lives, God already knows about. He is not surprised when we mess up and make mistakes. He is not surprised when we don't read His Word and pray regularly like we're supposed too. God knows all things. He knows all of our thoughts. Nothing goes past God, so why do we continue to put Him in a box? God can't be contained. He is a loving and merciful God, but He is also a God of judgment and wrath. We need to remember who we are dealing with when we decide to take matters into our own hands.
A life without God would be hard to understand. That is why we have people that don't understand Christians. They don't understand why Christians know what they believe. Unfortunately, more and more Christians haven't been leading by example and live like the rest of the world does. They give into every kind of desire and sin the world has to offer and still go to church like eveything is fine. The only way to change our world is by leading by example and setting godly moral standards again in our schools, our jobs, and our homes. That is the only way people will want what we have when we are genuine and live out our faith.
