Alternate Morality

Everyone has morals. The problem is not everyone has good ones. One could argue Hitler had morals, but few would call his actions good by any stretch of the imagination. God has told His people what is good, and Jesus said if we love Him we will obey his commandments.

Psalm 37:39 assures us The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. What wonderful protection against the wicked hurlings of the enemy! And the previous verse tells us the fate of those walking in wicked ways: transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.

Just as storm cellars protect against natural events, so there is a spiritual shelter against any evil seeking to harm us — God is our strong refuge and salvation.

Lord, let us never lose the stability You have given us in a sinful world. You are our rock, our immovable foundation. Thank you that all things are working together for the good You have promised. Let us remain loyal always to
