The Need for P.O.L.I.C.E.

There is much unrest in the world: wars, rumors of wars, shootings, riots.... All of it points to one problem–the reality of sin. Sin is rebellion against God, and all of
us have done it from time to time.

Ruth, Esther, and Job are people from the past who, directly or indirectly, demonstrated such devotion to God. I want to encourage you to study their stories in the Bibles and learn from their amazing examples.

However, this Sunday we’re going to look at another man who is a great example–Noah. During his life, he lived in the most sinful time this planet has probably ever seen, and yet he modeled something for us in how he dealt with sin. Noah reveals the need for P.O.L.I.C.E.

When bad, evil, scary situations happen in our lives, we need to remember to use the P.O.L.I.C.E. to help us get through it. Not necessarily the “boys in blue,” but the characteristics of:

Perseverance
Obedience
Loyalty
Inspiring others
Courage
Encouragement.

These were part of Noah’s task; they were part of Ruth’s, Esther’s, and Job’s tasks as well; and it’s our task too.

Sin is an ever growing problem in our world, but when we use P.O.L.I.C.E., we will find that they really do help in many ways during times of trouble.

May you be blessed with an understanding of the need for these qualities throughout your life.
