Matthew 12:30 (NLT)
"Anyone who isn't with me opposes me, and anyone who isn't working with me is actually working against me
Whose side are we really on? Sometimes we want to be on the side of everything that is good, clean and wholesome and then at other times we still want to taste and experience those things which we know only hurt and harm us and those we love. It is as if there are two forces pulling us in different directions at the same time. We know that we cannot go in both directions and still remain the person God wants us to be; "Anyone who isn't with me opposes me ".
It is factual that we all become caught "between two opinions" at times. Opposing forces woo us. Human nature tends to want to sit on the fence, half-and-half, rather than make a firm decision. Jesus Christ demands we make a choice. Either we are for Him, or we are against Him. He is not seeking barrackers, or backers, but brave men and women ready to follow Him wholeheartedly, without any reserve or condition. It seems too difficult. Remember, Christ imparts what we require to do it!
MEDITATION
When temptations come to me, I know that my God is close at hand to help me overcome - even my greatest weakness. I want my life to be a witness to the power and love of God.
PRAYER
I pray that my life will speak for God and that I will be seen to be on His side. I pray that He will keep me from following other forces or powers that are in the world.
