“Hizkiyahu (Hezekiah) said to Yesha`yahu (Isaiah), The word of Adonai which you have just told me is good; because he thought, At least peace and truth will continue during my lifetime.”
Isaiah 39:8 CJB
What a strange thing to say this is good! Hezekiah’s kids, grandkids and fellow Jews were going to become slaves, eunuchs and servants in Babylon and he is happy because it won’t happen in his lifetime! This is what compromise will get you: captivity!
“Eliyahu (Elijah) stepped forward before all the people and said, How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions? If Adonai is God, follow Him; but if it’s Ba`al, follow him! The people answered him not a word.”
1 Kings 18:21 CJB
We can’t be like the people here not answering a word, we need to be bold and denounce evil and not compromise with the world! We need to stand strong with Adonai!
“No one can be slave to two masters; for he will either hate the first and love the second, or scorn the second and be loyal to the first. You can’t be a slave to both God and money.”
Matthew 6:24 CJB
Today, be careful of who and what you get involved with, because when we try to fit in with the world it doesn’t only burn us, but it affects the ones we love too!
Have a blessed day clinging to Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!
