Good Friday morning! As the complexity of modern life increases all around us, what do we long for? Simplicity, or the simple life. Simple does not mean the same as ignorant, though it is used that way at times, nor does it mean the same as stupid. Simple is the choice we face in Jesus, believe in Him or don't. Belief in Jesus brings us to a new view of the Bible. Instead of spending time and energy trying to disprove some part of the Bible, and by extension all of it, our belief brings us to learn from God's Holy Word. Instead of complicating our life through worries of gain and acquisition, we want only what God grants us, and what God gives is more than a person can handle! Simple is the belief that give us joy, love, peace, and hope, all undeserved in this dark world. Simple belief seems unintelligent or stupid to this world and we are often portrayed as such. Simple belief is seen as an extreme view in this world. That may seem the strangest of all, and shows us just how well Satan lies. That a simple belief in Jesus has become an extremist point of view in this world shows how far the world has fallen in these dark times. Praise God for the simple belief of many in this world. We are surrounded by believers, though we may not see that in the news. One thing I believe, that Jesus is keeping our nation safe by the simple fact that many believe in Him.
Praise God for the glory of the day!
