Jesus was
saying it's best to stick to God's plan from the beginning even though there
are great cultural temptations not to do so. Whether the issue is divorce or
same sex marriage, God's design for us is always right.
The Creator loves
us and knows what is best for us. He even makes a Way for us to get right again
when we miss the mark. I am thankful for His Grace and Mercy, that He cares
enough to tell me the boundaries to live within and provides a Way of grace in
Jesus Christ to come back when I have crossed them.
I can't argue anything
from my own rightness because, except for the righteousness of Christ, I am
not right. That is why I have to turn to the Word of God for His instruction
and rules and pray for His continued Grace and Mercy as I inevitably
mess up. I put myself in an awkward situation however, when I decide that my
ways and the ways of the world are better than His ways.
Can God continue to
bless and protect a country that continually makes choices that are contrary to
His Word and His Ways? God will eventually give us what we keep asking for,
which is a world without the rules He, the Designer, gave us. The consequences
will not be good. A world with no moral absolutes turns into a world whose
rules are made by those who carry the biggest stick and wield the most power.
If I have to trust my God of Grace and Truth and Righteousness or another
human's ideas about what is right, I choose God's Word and His Way and ask for
His Grace. The Destroyer will lead us all to our own destruction if we choose
our plan over God's plan.
