1 | A Hostile Environment | Eph 6:12 | Lionstrong | 9592 | ||
A meditation "(O)ur struggle is not against flesh and blood": In the contemporary vernacular, we live in a hostile environment. "(T)horns and thistles it shall grow for you"(Gen 3): It's been this way since the Fall. "I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves"(Mat 10): Christ himself sends us out into such an environment. "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."(Jn 14): But even in such a fearful environment, it is possible for God's people to have peace. "(W)e also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."(Rom 5): We can not only have peace in such an environment, we can also exhault! "(D)eliver us from evil."(Mat 6) "The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom."(2 Tim 4): We can pray for and expect the Lord's protection in this hostile environment. "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom 8): Amen! |

2 | A Hostile Environment | Eph 6:12 | Makarios | 9606 | ||
Blessings Lionstrong! The topic of a "hostile environment" is an excellent topic to ponder in light of these verses and the fact that we, as Christians, are 'alien' to this world! :) Excellent study! Nolan |
