(Ponder Wednesday): What is Morality?


Gorgeous, 

What is Morality? Is God involved in Morality?

Recently, I read a book that said that morality points to God.

As in, all humans instinctively know there is right and wrong. That's why we argue using “That’s not fair!”, even when we break it ourselves.

Morality is not just instinct or social conditioning. Something deeper judges our instincts. The moral law is real because it tells us what we ought to do, not just what we actually do. So, If a moral law exists, then there must be a moral Law-giver. This points to something like a Mind behind the universe.

Because there is a mind behind the universe, we do have cause to be uneasy because this Mind is not neutral. It expects goodness, and we consistently fall short. That should unsettle us.

Morality isn’t made up. It points beyond humanity to God, and exposes our failure.

Now, what do you think?
Do you agree?
Can we be morally right without God; ie. only relying on our instincts?

weekly reminder: WORRY- why you should avoid it

Image
"I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life." (Psalm 27:13 GNT) The grace of a new day is worth celebrating, remembering us that life is worth living, one day at a time.  Dear Gorgeous, You see, it’s so easy to get lost in tomorrow. We worry about what hasn’t even happened yet: the bills, the children, the job we want, the relationship we’re praying for (for the single brethren among us 🤗). Before we know it, our hearts are heavy with what ifs. But Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” He wasn’t dismissing our needs; He was reminding us to live in the grace of today. God gives fresh mercies every morning because He knows we cannot carry tomorrow’s load with today’s strength. Gorgeous, everything you long for will fall into place in its time. đź’ˇ This week, remember: Worry doesn’t change tomorrow. It only steals today’s peace...
