White vs. Black

There are so many names that we are able to call Jesus. Jehovah, Emmanuel, Saviour, Lord, Friend

When it comes to Satan, there are just as many. Devil, the Enemy, Destroyer, Thief, Evil, Beast

In our world of black, white & things can get so mixed up. Our Christian values tend to become jumbled up sometimes when we analyze things. Sometimes by forgetting to pray & reading the Bible. Other times by allowing conflict to get involved in trying to decipher what God really wants from us.

The world, today, tends to lead us to believe that there is gray from which we can choose. I find that gray allows us a 'safe' way out. A way for us NOT to have to take a solid stand. A way for us NOT to have to spend time asking God what He wants, waiting for His answer, and then following through the way He would want. As I have matured in my walk the Lord, I am finding that there may be some areas that are a 'different' calling from me to the next person. For example: makeup, dating, tattoos, commitments, foods, etc. But if one is truly seeking what God wants for them, He WILL help them to see what His will is for THEIR life in that particular matter. It may be different from even your bestest of friends...but still, it could be His will for YOU. And the matter contains no gray. Just black or white. Yes or no....and sometimes....wait.

But when looking at the list of names that follow Jesus & Satan, all the gray fades away. There is no in between when in comes down to choosing a side. How could anyone think there's middle ground? I, personally think these list puts it all into perspective.

Black or White?

You choose.
