CONSCIENCE

CONSCIENCE

Conscience is like a sundial.  When the sun shines upon a sundial, it points us to the right time.  In the same way, our consciences point us in the right direction in life.  However, it’s important to remember that the sundial works only when the sun is shining upon it.  When moonlight shines on the dial, it points to the wrong time.  When a torch shines on the sundial, it points to the wrong time.  In these instances, the sundial is completely unreliable.

In the same manner, our consciences are sometimes unreliable because the ‘light’ shining upon them is not the voice of God, but the voices of our cultures, families, friends, or even Satan.  In these instances, we could feel a false sense of guilt over things that should not make us feel guilty, or we might feel no guilt at all over actions or attitudes that are entirely incorrect.  The key for the Christian is to have a conscience that is continually illuminated by the Holy Spirit. (Romans 9:1 – I Timothy 3:9)

Point to Ponder:

I must always ask myself, “Would CHRIST approve if He was here?” 

In truth, HE IS.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
