Look Out To God

Romans 1:21-22  

"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, 

neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, 

and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing 

themselves to be wise, they became fools," 

    What did the sinner do? Instead of looking out to God, he looked into himself. He involved himself in vain speculations and thought he was wise, while all the time he was a fool. Why? He was a fool because he made his ideas, his opinions, his speculations the standard and the law of life, instead of the will of God. The sinner's folly consisted in making "man the master of things." He found his standards in his own opinions and not in the laws of God. He lived in a self-centered instead of a God-centered universe. Instead of walking looking out to God he walked looking into himself, and, like any man who does not look where he is going, he falls.
   My Friends, let us not be all about ourselves, and how we do things in life, or what we think we can gain by having our own standards concerning life as we see it. For we are mere sinners saved by  God's Grace. No matter what our calling may be from God, it will all be done under the same Grace.
Amen!
