What You Gonna Do

Good evening and Happy Friday. I was speaking to someone I know and she has a rough job. She is teacher at a turnaround school. For those of you not from Chicago a turnaround school is one that has done so poorly in testing at a certain grade level for their students that the Board of Education comes in a takes all of the old teachers out and replaces them with an organization responsible for getting the children to score higher. Now some of the tactics they ask my friend to use goes against what she is all about. The children are in a dark place when they come to and leave for home as their is no love, kindness or peace in most of their homes. But from the time children reach the school she is like a light to them the way she encourages and fights for them to love themselves. This is just one person who makes a difference. My question today is What You Gonna Do?

See we leave in a world that doing bad seems to be ok. I look at social media lately and have seen two instances of people fighting and an adult just watching. You see young girls who dress as if they are grown

and even talking to grown men doing grown acts. We see young men who just hang out they entire day as if  

they are working a ten hour day. Many of us "saints" see this but we might as well be deaf, blind and mute. God is looking and asking, What You Gonna Do?

In going to the powerful Word of God to see What You Gonna Do I go to Genesis 33:1-4. In this passage Jacob wants to go home and but fears that his brother Esau will hurt him so he sends the women ahead of 

him but forgets that God will fight his battles. Many men allow the women to raise the children all alone and then wonder why the youth have such a low opinion of the men who are their fathers and I include myself in that bunch. Esau had love for his blood in spite of. So should we men in spite if that woman who had your child has moved on. What You Gonna Do.

In looking at the second example in the Word of God of What You Gonna Do I go to 1st Samuel 4:14-17. In this passage Eli hears from some one who fled from the battle to inform him that his two sons have been 

killed. and the ark of God had been captured. The thing in this passage is the messenger who fled from the battle instead of doing whatever is necessary to protect the things of God. We as a people of God have gotten comfortable with sex, drugs and nudity being paraded before and have fled the scene instead of protecting what is Gods. What You Gonna Do. 

In going to the last example of What You Gonna Do in the Word of God I go to Galatians 2:11-14. Peter is called out by Paul because he gets around his home boys and acts likes he never knew people he did hang

around. Many of us get saved and forget about our friends and family and then wonder why they do not want to talk to you about God all time. They remember how you were but when you get around the "saints" you walk, talk and act a certain way. What You Gonna Do?

In closing there is never a time when we should act like Jacob, the messenger and Peter in the passages of that I shared. In Matthew 5:14-16 it tells of how we as men should act and how our light could shine so bright we could change the atmosphere. In Joshua 23:10-11 it tells of how if you God on your side and you love him you can fight any battle and never run away. And in Esther 4:13-14 it tells of how if we let a generation just go away without a fight the blood can certainly be on us. What You Gonna Do? I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching and ask him to bless all who read this. Sunday School is important. Can you attend/ Have a great weekend and great job this month all.
