Psalms 106:35 but they mingled with the nations and learned to do as they did.
Today we have this notion that we have to be like other countries. Why can’t we here in America be more like European countries? We fail to recognize the blessings that God has given us, that we have known and celebrated in the past. Today we have a sense of entitlement that leads us to turn away from what God has done for us. We are becomong more and more like the culture that Jesus came to save us from. This is true in the churches as well. As we try to attract more people we think that we have to do the things that those people do to get them to come. But if we do what they do, then what are we saving them to?
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to hear your words and see your gifts and know that you love me and that I can take comfort in that without looking to others.
Amen
