I was watching the news this morning and the story was about a national leader stating that he has changed his mind about a moral issue. The caption on the screen read, Evolution Complete.
That caption has rolled around in my spirit all morning. I began to ask the Lord about it and I have come to only one conclusion. Regarding righteousness and morality...evolution is impossible. Righteousness and morality are in no way tied to my opinions or the evolution thereof. We as human beings are flawed and in need not only of a Savior but a King. Among us there is none righteous, no not one...only the One and Only. We are fickle...He is not.
It is He who establishes morality. There is truly a standard of right and wrong, not because He is a punisher...but because He came so that we could have life and have it to the fullest. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He is the author and profecter of our faith and all good things come from Him. He is love.
How is it that our society has concluded that love means standing by as people race off the cliff? At best, in silence and at worst encouraging them by justifying behaviors that directly violate the standards set by the Father? They are not negotiable or evolving. They are grounded in hope and truth for our good and not our destruction. One is not loving and kind to stand idly by and watch another plummet to destruction. Lovingly reach out your hand of support and love and speak truth...for the reknown of the Father and His love for humanity.
He designed the game. He wrote the rule book. He knows the final score. He knows the way that it is best played. He knows how to teach you to be a home run hitter and a defensive specialist. He also knows the tricks of our opponent who seeks only our demise. One is not forced to play the game by the rules but the rules do not change nonetheless.
I thank Him regularly that His thoughts are not my thoughts and His ways are not my ways. That He is unchanging. He was the same yesterday, today and forever...in other words He is not evolving. I need Him to be higher than me, stronger than me, wiser than me to a degree of which there are no words to describe.
A rebellious teen does not cause moral evolution to occur. A person caught in the trap of addiction does not cause moral evolution to occur. A majority rule or a constitutional amendment do not cause morality or righteousness to evolve.
The truth remains true even if every one us raise our hand in a vote opposing it. Because HE is the truth and He is unchanging. He loves us in our mess and captivity...but He has already set us free. If you are His, any bondage you perceive yourself to be in is a facade. The enemy has no power over you. He has giving you hope and freedom. He is unchanging and He loves us.
He does not evolve...He simply...IS.
