I feel out of place as I start to write this message for today. It seems so long ago I did this and now that I am back for the first day it seems hard to get going. So enough of that, let's dig right into the message for today and that is TV itself. You can control what you watch right? Well in part that is true, but there is a part that is not. I will give examples of this; you can watch a TV show about how something is made but cannot control the ads and other stuff around it. You can watch a show about golf or football but cannot control what is surrounding it. Even ads today are becoming riskier and that is during the day. Anything that you see can be a trigger for you to be led down the wrong path.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 when you see something that can cause to be led away from Jesus do not conform to it instead be transformed by the renewing of your mind In Jesus. You can control watch you specifically watch, but you cannot control what is around what you watch. even though you cannot control the surrounding stuff you can control what you do with it. Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will be snared and caught. Isaiah 8:15. You can create boundaries around the surrounding things you cannot control, you can pray during those moments. you can do whatever it takes for you to not be led down a path further away from Jesus, so you do not stumble like the verses says.
This is what the Lord of armies says: “Behold, evil is going out From nation to nation, And a great storm is being stirred up From the remotest parts of the earth. Jeremiah 25:32. There will always be evil, it will always try to stir up and be made know. But it is what we do with evil that comes our way the defines us as we are. So, things on your TV will come that you cannot control but it is what you do with it that will define you as a Christian. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. Mark10:25. This can be said of anything you want to put there instead of a rich person.
This all boils down to that there is a lot of good things on our TV, and we should seek those things but in the midst of that is snares and we need to be ready for them, so we don't get led father away from Jesus. So, stay strong and be careful, for evil is there just waiting for you but you know that Jesus is with you fighting the battles you cannot see. just keep praying and never cease from Jesus and His message.
