Many people take comfort in the shadows. We hide in them and close our eyes to the world around us. Avoiding confrontation is a way of life for many people, especially those of us who believe in a higher force at work. We watch human nature spiral out of control as what we know to be wrong and immoral becomes an acceptable and moral behavior. Those of us who have chosen to follow moral path such as Christianity or Judaism, are being constantly forced to hide our beliefs or be outcasts and labeled judgmental or racist. Many chose to hide deeper in the thick shadows, hiding from persecution and judgment.
Those who do not hide take an easy road of compromise and conformity. They sacrifice their values and accept what society has told them to accept and celebrate, yet in their soul it conflicts, weighing them down. This guilt and conflict destroy any joy they should have from their spiritual life. These fluid values have no room in a heart focused on divine principles. People continue to let society, rather than God, determine what is moral and immoral. The media parades the “alternate” lifestyle which has no room for what “Godly” life is meant to be.
So, do we accept the world as it has become? What is moral and good for you does not have to be the same for others. This world tells us that we can choose our own values, but we cannot enforce them on others. Individuality and hedonism to their fullest. Accountability has been tossed to the wayside as we are told that we should not correct or judge people’s actions. This even spills over into parenting, as discipline has now become negotiation and compromise with parents told to not correct their children. Children will be able to determine for themselves what they should and should not do. This detached parenting has a huge negative impact on our children and society’s future.
What is the answer? How do those who want to follow a morality within this “woke” mentality? Stop the compromise! Do not conform, instead hold to your principles. Morality always has a higher priority over governments or the masses. There is a proverb from the Bible that I believe rings true to those of us who believe in a higher moral standard. It reads:
If the wicked are ruling the nation, sin will be everywhere, but those who live right will win in the end. Proverbs 29:16 ERV
Do not live in the shadows; move out into the light and don’t accept what society tells you to accept. Live out your convictions and rebel against the control that society has taken over you. There is no need to fear because, in the end, morality and ethics will prevail.
