Feasting on death

Immorality’s appeal is its dark promise to a quick pleasure. God’s heart must break for those tortured souls who make their living serving this diabolical pleasure. For they are locked within the fowl culture of rotting death. Those feasting at the altar of perversion feast on death. The promises offered by these criminal gods are designed to seduce their vacuous subjects to feast on the lives being offered on the altar of immorality.

From the mouth of babes.

Maybe I’ll be able to preach like this some day. Incredible!!!

 “Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!” (Ps 31:24, ESV) 

It remains so counter-intuitive to wait when troubles arise. Our basic (base) instinct is to “do” something, anything. But that is the point! What can “we” do? After all, the simple fact remains that if we were able to rid ourselves of trouble we would never be in trouble to begin with. Simply put, trouble comes to us through the consequences of our actions or the actions of someone or something else. When we find ourselves in trouble our great weakness is exposed and this leads to fear. Fear then becomes the motivation for impotent action. 
God’s answer to us is simple, "wait on me." To wait requires trust. If God is able I will be safe. If God is willing I will be safe. Waiting on God demands that we trust that He is both able and willing. When this faith is present then we are made strong. “Be strong (in Him), and let your heart take courage..."
