Will You Affect, Or Be Affected?

 

Today's verse is Galatians 4:17

They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. 

    Who do you allow to affect you? Who do you allow to help you determine what is right and what is wrong? Today, there is this thing called the “Cancel Culture,” as we can see from this passage, it is not a new thing, but an old one, made much larger. So, which will you fear? Will you fear them that know not God, who are afraid to know God, not without cause, but we know to be foolish. Or, will you remain faithful to the one that Saved you out of the same thing that they fear? Will you allow your God to affect them through you, even though they resist it? Will you Trust your God to care for your needs even as he has promised? But seek ye the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you. Will you approve yourself the minister of God with much patience, even in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses . . . even as Jesus Christ suffered for your sake, as you Watch for his appearing, when he comes to take you to that place he has prepared for you. Selah [Choose carefully who will affect you.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
