With all these missing children in the world, my heart breaks. This is a world wide epidemic. Read an article that many unaccompanied children are coming across the border, then we see all these children being rescued from sex trafficking. What can we do to help leave our world better than where we find it?
Who are these people that prey on children? They are of the world. The Bible says set yourself apart from the world. It’s getting really hard to set yourself apart, everywhere you turn there’s ungodly sex on Netflix, Amazon, HBO, primetime, social media, radio, everywhere. The world wide web since its conception has been the biggest place to connect to pornography, where porn is always the #1 searched subject. Therefore, I believe pornography is the #1 thing Christians must set ourselves apart from. The Bible says to guard your temple, be careful what you put in, the Bible also says transform your mind by feeding yourself the Living Word of God daily. So basically what we feed ourselves is who be become. We can be influenced by the world or by the Living Word of God.
The more I think on where we have come, not only must we wake up to know our children are our biggest blessing who need are protection and guidance but wee need to give them the best education, the study of the Bible. Daily Bible study for our children needs to be a priority so we can transform a generation. If we can’t get Bible study into our public schools, then private school might need to be the priority. The cost of not building studies around the Living Word of God is just too high.
There is a great application, You Bible app that gains the reader access to not only many versions of the Bible but also Bible reading plans that you can do by yourself or invite others to join. This year I just started a read the Bible in 3 years with my mother, sister, and a few of my children. This is one great way to help each other as we read through the Bible. I look forward to learning more as we continue to get into the Living Word of God, the Bible!
Abba Father, I thank you for Jesus Christ our Living Word, that through Him we have access to YOU! Father may we continue to grow in our knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. May we resist the devil and his schemes to infilterate our minds with his filth that is so easily available to us through our TVs, phones, and internet. Father may we guard all input and choose to say NO to things of this world, may we instead turn on worship songs, praising you all day, may we watch faith filled movies, and may we use the internet to grow in our knowledge of YOU! Father I lift up prayers for the child captives, I pray they may be set free in the mighty name of Jesus. May they find peace, security, and healing through your loving Son. Thank you loving Father for your truth, your direction, your correction, and your love. Amen.
