Not So Rose Colored Glasses

Have you ever put on a pair of prescription glasses? Everything appears distorted at first but then after awhile the images kind of come into focus. Not real clear, but enough to see. Imagine if you forgot that you put the glasses on. After awhile your eyes would conform to the destructive lenses. You would think that your view was unobscured but actually your eyes would be deteriorating with each day you continued to wear the bad lenses. Eventually it would appear that you would need to put more "corrective lenses" on so that you could see clearly.

The world continues to add corrective lenses where they are not needed. Sin has become the acceptable way of life. The world is lost and sin is habitual. Think about it. In 1939 Rhett Butler used the famous last words, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn". Since then, more and more swear words have made their way to daytime television. Even children's animated movies have "adult humor" within them. One little compromise at a time. The world conforms to the cultures of the current time.

What compromises are you making? It happens all of a sudden and sometimes you don't even realize that you've done it. Think about Samson, the strong man of the Bible and how Delilah pestered him daily until he gave in and told her where his strength lay.

Instead of taking the glasses off and seeing how God wants us to see things, the world just keeps adding more corrective lenses in hopes of making things clear, when in reality they are just making things worse. Take the glasses off, look into your hearts and listen to what God is saying.
