Warriors for Jesus Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

Psalm 119:105

That's the way it should be. God's word (The Bible) should be a lamp to guide our spiritual lives, and a light for the path of your life.

God tells us to obey authority (Children to parents, parents to government, etc) but what should be first and formost in our lives is to obey his written laws. Many of the laws today go along with the Bible, and for that we should be thankful, but there may come a time, and maybe there are some laws even now that go against God's teachings. I say maybe because I am a teeenager who is still to young to vote so I have no knowledge of the majority of the legal system.

But, for an example, say there was a law that told you to worship an idol ( I know that in some places they've had or have laws like this, take Daniel into consideration.). You know that worshipping idols is wrong and a sin, but say that the consequence was death. Death would be the penealty for disobeying this law. Would you worship the idol to save your own skin? Our would you stay on your feet, stay silent, and stay strong in your faith to God?

The sad thing is is that even now we as Christians are being ridiculed and persecuted for our faith and beliefs. It's hard for the average Christian teen, espeacially because of school and peer pressure. It's hard to be any sort of Christian in a non Chirstian environment. And sometimes it's easier to be like Peter for a moment. Sometimes it's easier to be afraid and give in, denying your faith and your God.

But we shouldn't be like that, we shouldn't be afraid. We have the King of Kings on our side, and no matter who forsakes us in our lives he's always going to be there for us. So even when people make fun of you, for your faith or any other reason stay strong, satnd up, and don't let sin tear you down. Be courageous in your faith, and obey God in everything, even when others think your wrong.

Prayer:

Jesus, forgive me of the sins I've done, and for the sins I'm going to do. Help me to obey you in all things, and no matter what happens in my life to put you first. Lord, please help me to be a better Christian, and to walk in you path always. You are worthy, and we give You all the praise. You chose to save us whe You didn't have to, when we are truly worth less than the dirt under your feet. Thank you for loving us so much, God. We love You just as much.
