Metaphor: Community of the LordJosh 22:17-18- Was not the sin of Peor enough for us? Up to this very day we have not cleansed ourselves from that sin, even though a plague fell on the community of the LORD ! NIV
While not an exciting thing to hear about the community of the Lord mentioned here reminds us again of our connectedness to those who serve God. The people of God or Community of the Lord must not allow their surroundings, times and culture to determine how they should live. God will not look the other way when we as His community ignore His ways. He is also not lacking in His blessings toward us when we live according to His precepts.
Although we are individually accountable to God as His people or Community we are blessed or cursed by persistent patterns of behavior amongst us. We do have a responsibility to be salt and light not just for the unsaved world around us but also to preserve and advance the Community and rule of our God in the Earth.
Today, meditate on this and seek God so that you might influence Hid community to be a blessing and not a curse in the family, job, community and nation in which you live.
