GOD, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Romans 1:25-27
Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God,
they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the
things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised
forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful
desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have
sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men,
instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned
with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and,
as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.

I read about a small weekly newspaper that was having a tough time filling one of their weekly columns. The senior editor had his compositor set up the Ten Commandments, and the newspaper ran them without making any editorial comments. Three days after that paper was released, the senior editor received a letter saying, “Please cancel my subscription. Your newspaper is getting too personal.” When the Word of God is no longer accepted as the very voice of God that corrects man, we come to believe that we can run our own affairs without God’s divine guidance. We say to God, “Mind your own business.” George Washington wrote, “It is impossible to rightly govern without God and the Bible.” Telling God to mind His own business is a really bad idea. Instead, acknowledge that He is in control of your life and accept that He can bless your life.
