Worthwhile

Now, commentary on yesterday’s verses (from Romans 1)

The one line that struck me more than others was “they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God.”  Earlier it said “they knew God.”

I have many friends who knew God and didn’t retain that knowledge, and now they no longer walk with him.

There are many marriages of couples who knew each other well but no longer walk together – they walk with another.

There’s something to be said for retaining our knowledge of who God is. Somewhere along life’s road we exchange the truth of God for lies.  We begin to doubt his goodness, we quit filling our minds with his word and fill our minds with fantasy, and we fail to recognize him daily and walk beside him in closeness and communion.

What a dangerous position to find ourselves in, because if we continue in that path, all sorts of evil begins to occur until…and there is no longer a line between good and evil.

Do you know God?  Are you retaining that knowledge by walking with him daily?  It’s imperative, healthy, wise, and life-giving if we do.  And it’s sure destruction if we don’t.
