2009-Sep-14 - You Will Never Be Sorry
You will never be sorry doing what is right. Never ever ever ever! Ethical questions abound today as the lines between right and wrong have been erased to a point of confusion for many. I was eating lunch with my husband the other day in celebration of our 19th wedding anniversary and heard an older couple talking nearby. It was clear that they did not see eye to eye on something they were discussing, but were calm and respectful although disagreeing.
"So what qualities do you think makes good leadership," the older woman said.
Thoughtfully, the man and with deliberateness, "honesty, values, traditions, doing the right things. . ."
"Well, you know everybody was "raised differently" so what's right to some isn't going to be right for everyone," she answered him.
"That may be true, but people just know, society knows right from wrong," he said.
"But how? And to whom?" the lady retorted.
I sat there with disdain growing for one who was challenging the value system of a strong distinction of right and wrong, while for the man i wanted to stand up and cheer!
AND THESE WERE NOT YOUNG PEOPLE, but senior adults!
It's clear that our society has lost it's way in knowing right from wrong. It's clear that the lines have been erased and what was once wrong is now justified by those who seek to satisfy their own value systems. It's so painfully clear that we have become "righteous in our own eyes" as is forewarned in the Bible.
But as believers, we will never ever be sorry or misled by the Biblical worldview of seeing God for Who He is as a Righteous Judge and ourselves as His children who need Him!
Knowing right from wrong is essential in following God, and it begins in knowing that He is God and we are not. Once we recognize our finite position with Him, then we are able to cry out to Him for forgiveness and mercy to establish the relationship humans need so much!
As you follow God, you will never be sorry!
