Just a thought by coppi

Truly this was the son of God.  (Mt 27)

All throughout Scripture God reiterates a consistent, powerful metaphor: light and dark. Scripture depicts the darkness as that which is without God and light as that which has God in it. (Craig Denison)

When I read these words this morning in Matthew, my ears perked up as I am reminded of our world today.  In my opinion, in seems our country has drifted far from the words “In God we trust”.  I have said this before in my writings what my dear mother use to say “When you take God out of a Country, it will fall”.  And, as I    see what’s going on in our country and  world, I wonder if once again we are faced with unbelief and “there is no God”.  The Old Testament and the history of the Israelites will confirm what happens when one goes their on way and not following the ways of God.  When we crucify God and decide He is no longer needed or alive, we base decisions on human beliefs.  

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor:3:16

“My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14

Good and evil. Light and dark.  We must accept that both light and dark exist, that we can engage with both, and learn what it is to choose light at every turn.  May we open our eyes to the darkness/evil in our world and not let evil overcome the light and wisdom God gives us to make right choices.  We know from scriptures/God’s word what happens when we go our own way.  My prayer is that we awaken to the evil going on before it’s too late and our words will not be: “This was God and we chose evil over good”.  We crucified Him.
