Today it’s easy to see how the unbelieving world has rejected God’s truth and authority. But, even as believers, we must fight the constant bombardment of philosophies and information, much of which directly contradicts the Bible. All this makes learning God’s Word all the more important. If we don’t, we may start to think and look more and more like the unbelievers around us and find ourselves just blending in..
We’re called to be different by shining God’s light into a dark world! But when it comes to responding to our circumstances, the tests and trials of life, the state of our nation, and other things, are we really acting that differently? Are we responding like the world or like Christ? Are we whining or shining? What can help us be a reflection of Christ?
And in an appropriately related passage from our reading in Psalms, have we become like chameleons, blending in with the darkness around us instead of being who God created us to be?
