Heart Loyalty

 

The following post was published in July 2015. Its importance is magnified as we live in a time of unrest and destruction among people and our nation. God is judging our country. There is no wondering about it. Where do you stand?

Job possessed heart loyalty. Those were the words I read in a Bible study lesson written by James T. Draper. Those words certainly aren't a new idea, but one that needs to be revisited during a crucial and needy time in America.

 

Heart loyalty.

 

The question is: "What are you loyal too?" No matter what answer you give, your number one loyalty should be to God. If you have been saved and live for God, He should be your number one loyalty.

 

Are you devoted to God? Do you live for God? Would you die for God? As our country and world continues its vigorous spiral downfall, who are you loyal too?

My heart breaks as I see our country continue to abandon and overrule God. We were a great nation; a smart nation, a nation built on freedom and God. We are collapsing and it's happening faster and faster as each day goes by.

 

Being loyal to God isn't a hard thing. It's truly a heart issue. You either stand for Christ or you don't. Once you've made your decision, loyalty is easy.

 

I've lost a lot in my life because of my stand for Christ, and it hurts. Yet I stand for what I believe and have no regrets of that choice.

 

Once your heart is settled, no matter what happens in this life, you stand behind the living God where all things are possible--even the impossible.

 

" . . . I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." Ephesians 4:1

The ministry "Contending for the Faith" says: "We have been 'called' to fellowship with God. This calling influences our mind by appealing to our conscience, our reason, and our need. We are called to enter God's kingdom by moral persuasion rather than by supernaturally imposed physical power. The call of the gospel is a general, universal invitation extended to all, for everyone has been invited to enjoy this salvation and its blessings through Christ. Since the gospel call is the greatest invitation ever offered to us, we should conduct ourselves in a way that reflects our appreciation for such an unmerited privilege. As Paul says to the Phillipians 'Conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.'"

The call in this day and age is: "Who are you loyal too?" Job possessed heart loyalty. I've made my choice. What about you?
