It is easy to look around us and see all that is wrong. Then we have a natural human tendency to withdraw from what is evil instead of facing it head on and calling it what it is. Instead of having “grasshopper hearts” that see the evil and hide from it, we should have hearts filled with faith, knowing that if God has given us a word to speak, He will give us the courage to speak it to the right people. I have been discouraged lately about the path the world is taking, but instead of taking a stand, I have chosen just to watch and see what happens next. I think that God is calling me to some kind of action. Whether it is writing my legislators, attending meetings, or speaking out online, I plan to be bold for God. No more of allowing the rampant evil and immorality of this current world to reign! I will speak boldly for the Lord, telling others the way life should be lived. Actions have consequences and the world is reaping the consequences of an entire generation that does not know or want to know God. We cannot change the world by burying our heads in the sand and saying, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus.” Do we really want Him to come quickly when it means so many will be lost in eternity without Him? Let’s do all we can to influence as many as we can to turn their hearts and eyes toward Jesus before it is too late. Grasshopper hearts won’t hack it in a world filled with giants of greed, deceit, and gross immorality that even wants to capture the hearts of our children. No more alphabet soup! One man, one woman for life is God’s plan. Loving others as God loved is God’s plan. Telling the truth even if it offends someone is God’s plan. Stalwart and moving forward is God’s plan. I hope that you will join me. My efforts may be small, but together we can make a difference and can roll back the tide of evil, replacing it with the Word of God and His standards.
