“Woe
to those who call evil good and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20
It doesn’t matter how prestigious
the person is, it matters whether he acknowledges God’s gift of Jesus Christ or
not. Prestigious people mock God every day. They say that genocide of the
preborn is OK or even a good idea. They say that sexual morality is what we
want, not what God has said. They say the Law of God is irrelevant for today’s
society. They call evil good and good evil. Whether they are prestigious people
in government, religion, science, education, or celebrities, they have no
standing with God when they call evil good and good evil.
How then should the believer in
Christ react in such a sinful environment? We must continue to call evil evil and
good good. We must continue to live in obedience to what God says and not what
clever or prestigious people want to us to believe. God is on His throne whether
the most notable people on earth want to acknowledge it or not. God calls His own
people to hear Him and obey.
Dear Father, Help us not to be
persuaded by evil men with evil thoughts. Amen.
