Things That Shouldn’t Be Done

Scripture: Genesis 34 [7] Now Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter–a thing that should not be done.:

Observation: This world is filled with things that shouldn’t be done, fornication, rape, homosexuality, abuse of children, prostitution, and the list is too long to write. We have done things we shouldn’t have for such a long time that it seems normal now. There is not a television show on that says not to have sex before marriage and homosexuality has become so common if you’re against it you are called a bigot and hard hearted. To find God is this world you have to look through all the garbage we have filled this place with.

Application: I need to make a stand for myself and be an example in this fallen world that I belong to my Lord. No matter what temptations might come my way I need to live a life that honors my Lord and not give in to this world. I need to watch and be part of things that are pure and of God and stay away from the things that are the enemy

Prayer: My Lord help me fight any temptation that might dishonor me as one of your children. I’m here to be an example of Jesus in this world. Help me walk through this life with my head held high and my worship always going to you..
