Provided for

God has provided for me all that I need for life and godliness. God has shown me His salvation, has filled me with the Holy Spirit that enables me to walk according to the statutes of God. Yesterday my family was watching television and I have been realizing more and more that this screen that is turned on is very much like the picture room in Ezekiel 8:7-13

Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. [8] He said to me, "Son of man, now dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance. [9] And He said to me, "Go in and see the wicked abominations that they are committing here." [10] So I entered and looked, and behold, every form of creeping things and beasts and detestable things, with all the idols of the house of Israel, were carved on the wall all around. [11] Standing in front of them were seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan standing among them, each man with his censer in his hand and the fragrance of the cloud of incense rising. [12] Then He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, ''The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.''" [13] And He said to me, "Yet you will see still greater abominations which they are committing."

There is a way that seems right to a man that is an abomination to God. I have to remember to keep my conviction and not get near it. I am not entertained by TV. How can you grow in Christ if you do like the very things that non-Christians like? Christians have to grown in godliness, grow in communion with the Lord, seek to know God more, period. Some people thought that when God saved me that the zeal would not last.  That the passion for Christ would not remain. I stumble I am not perfect but in direction I am heading home. I ask God to conform me to His image, to be transformed day by day, to know Him, whether this means singleness or marriage praise be to God. I will trust Him. I will endeavour to remember that.
