But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. — 2 Thessalonians 3:6, NKJV.
This is Kevin William Rascoe, and welcome to my weekly devotional/blog.
Today’s scripture: “The word for disorderly in Greek is ataktos, which means to be out of order at the post where one is positioned.
“When watchmen on the wall or soldiers on guard are away from their posts, their lack of vigilance can endanger others. Paul emphasizes the importance of staying away from such people.” — The Perry Stone Study Bible.
“Out of order:” In one of my past posts, I touched on this subject: Society has accepted what Satan has placed before them: disorder.
Disorderly conduct produces a chaotic culture. Example: Many will have sex before marriage, and even before a relationship.
As a result, sometimes a conception takes place, and a child is born and raised without a father and with no discipline at home or school.
And this leads to an adolescent not respecting authority or older people, and who feels comfortable saying, “I won’t and will not do,” which produces chaos on the streets at night, called “teen takeovers.”
These scenarios happen daily because society is out of order.
THE MESSAGE: Keep things in order. It will add simplicity to your life, and if everyone applied the manual of life (the Bible) to their daily walk, the Lord would order their steps (Ps. 37:23), and we would have order in this world.
Until next time, God bless!
But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. — 2 Thessalonians 3:6, NKJV.
If you haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and repented of your sins, then do so now because there is no guarantee you’ll have another opportunity tomorrow (Romans 10:9-10).
