Does Your Life Honor God? by Billy Graham
Moses warned that the enemies of Israel would conquer her if she disobeyed God. We all know the history of Israel. We know that Israel did disobey God and that she suffered one judgment after another.
Today America is following the same dangerous path. We worship the gods of secularism and materialism. God is displeased, and I warn you that His anger is being kindled. If ever a nation has enjoyed prosperity and the blessing of God, it is America; but instead of giving thanks to God, we have offered our reverence and worship to created things. As Paul wrote in Romans 1:20-21, “There is therefore no possible defense for their conduct; knowing God, they have refused to honor him as God, or to render him thanks. Hence all their thinking has ended in futility, and their misguided minds are plunged in darkness” (NEB).
Could this be the difficulty with some of our leaders today?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help us live lives today that honor You. Give us the wisdom to walk in the Light, not in the darkness. Also, show us how to pray for those in authority over us. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
