WORKS FOR ME VI

MAN’S WORLD VS GOD’S KINGDOM

After watching the hearings and the testimony of Hillary Clinton, I find myself not liking this world that mankind has built.  It lends itself to false power and corruption; to mean spiritedness; to the devaluation of people, and a disrespect of life.  It congers up blame and shame; it distorts responsibility and integrity.  The real evil is dismissed and the hunt begins for those who allowed it to happen, to those who breached the illusion of safety and security.  The ones who plotted, planned, and executed the evil by pulling the trigger or throwing the bomb become inconsequential.  It’s the fault of the government who is looked to as a god and savior of the world.

I don’t like this world that mankind has built.  It doesn’t work for me.

Fortunately there is another option; the world that God created, the Kingdom of God.  That is the world that Jesus proclaimed.  That is the world he gave us access to through his death on the cross and his resurrection. It is necessary for me to turn my allegiance from the one man has built and begin to walk and live in the one God has created.  It is the way I choose and it works for me.
