“They that forsake the law praise the wicked: But such as keep the law contend with them.” (Proverbs 28:4 KJV)
This reflects the present day political and social climate in our country and the world. There is no clearer dividing line than what we are witnessing, between light and darkness, between those that abide and reject God's Word, between good and evil. We are watching law breakers celebrated, while preservers of law and order reviled. We see felons memorialized and memorials of heroes desecrated. We see indolence rewarded and diligence penalized. This is the result of man forsaking God's sovereignty and the authority of His Words.
The contraction of evil ways is intensifying. So, for every born again member in the body of Christ, it is important to stand up and honor the Lord, rest in His grace by faith. Like apostle Paul we share the gospel of the Lord Jesus unashamed, for it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).
Hence, to withstand the onslaught of wickedness, Apostle Paul calls us all to reflect on this exhortation to the church of Ephesus: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,” (Ephesians 6:10-17 ESV)
