The way to go

 “You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.” – Colossians 3: 7 

MUCH of the confusion we feel in these times is because good people feel obliged to please society’s leaders and celebrities in order to be accepted, to “fit in”, to be politically correct, fashionable and probably to prosper. Yet it doesn’t feel right. And it’s when we’re ill-at-ease about public goings-on in our communities and our nation, that we must remember that we are also – and primarily – godly citizens. We cannot serve two masters when it comes to choosing priorities. If you’re ever in any doubt, refer to Proverbs 11: 11 which tells us that godly citizens are “good for a city and make it prosper.”  As in all things confusing, turn to God: He says: “But this people’s leaders were misleading, and those being led were confused.” (Isaiah 9: 16). And the solution, it says, is, “Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ.” (Philippians 1: 27).  Yes, He is the answer to our confusion.
