-Strength for Today- "Are you Living in Gray Areas?" - John 10:10

Never before?has a society spent so much time trying to?“prioritize”?the?“color of?one’s skin color.”?After all, God?is the creator of the?“one human race,” and is “the determiner”?of the “single most important substance for one’s pigment of the skin,?which?“melanin,?which is the main determinant of “the darker-skin color of darker-skin humans.”?But sadly, many, not only in society, but are in our churches are “ignorant to this fact.”?

That’s?why?it’s?expedient?that?Christians “test or try every “mode,”?to see if it lines up with the Word of God, whether it's from “our government,”?or whether it's being?“motivated by our society.”?Because the?“diversity,”?based?on the?“Critical Race Theory,”?that’s?being pumped up throughout this land,?isn't?from God,?but is a?“diverse religious attempt,” aimed?at?“stealing God’s concept of?“unity,” with Satan as its driving force – John 10:10.?

Because, from the beginning God said,?“let us make man after our image”?(Genesis 2:27), which speaks loudly of?“unity,”?and not?Satan’s “shallowness of “diversity.”??Because when we look at God’s?“divine characteristic, for mankind,”?there’re no?“gray”?areas to consider. Because He created man to be?“a living portrait of Himself,” and not some?“dressed down imitators of Satan”?

So, if?you’re?not living in the beautiful rainbow of colors, created by God,?you’re?living in a?“gray area”?without hope. Because without Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit,?“you’re a “prisoner of your own making.”?Because if?you’re?living in with in the “gray”?you’ve?succumbed?to the world. Whereas with one?“stroke”?of the?“human brush,”?the difference between?“believers,” and?“unbelievers”?becomes?“undetectable.”?

But with Jesus as the guiding light in our lives, the depressing “gray areas” of our soul?can be overcome. Because when?we’re?in Him, by?faith, His?“light,”?is?“the?home base we live from which we live,” “the journey we live into,?“and?“the promise that?we’re?caught up in God’s Spirit, and set free to live it. Because a?“gray soul”?is “a weakened soul.”?It’s?not??

A?“gray soul”?is?“a weakened soul.”?It's?not that?there’s?no?power inside?“the soul,” but?rather that?“the?soul”?can’t?use its power because when sin is present, “the soul”?appears as?“gray,”?which is the?“effect”?of?mankind?“losing the trait” of?“God’s likeness.”?
