Who Is Your Guardian?

By Paula Williamson, guest writer

There are so many opinions freely expressed on Social Media today that it can make your head spin! Without the Word of God as our guardian, everyone decides what is right based on their own upbringing, experience, and opinions. Scripture has been around for over 3,000 years and has not been proven wrong. Who else or what else can boast of that? Yet we turn to all kinds of ideas under the guise of being progressive. I know people who think it is fun to go to a medium and harmless to dabble in the occult. They believe there is no harm in it.

It Is Written

LEVITICUS 20:6 ‘I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people.

Clear Boundaries

Every good parent sets clear boundaries and consequences at home for their children. These boundaries are for the children's good, safety, and success. Scripture is no different, except that it is God-breathed and written for our instruction. It is filled with wisdom for a successful life.

Prayer

Lord, in a world full of opinions, options, and ideas not grounded in Your Word, help us read Your Word and shape our worldview from it. Help us return to the safe boundaries of Your Word so that we pass on blessings, not curses, to our family line and to future generations. Help us return to Your God-breathed Word and teach it to our children and loved ones so that the tide turns and we become a nation and a people who walk in the blessing and favor of the Most High God.

Takeaway

God’s Word is a trustworthy guardian.
