Karma….

You hear people talk about karma a lot these days. Karma is a Hindu term from their religion. Karma has been modernized to mean “what goes around, comes around”, or better put, “do good, good comes back to you, do bad, bad comes back to you”. Well, today I’m going to introduce the source of its origin. Karma didn’t come from Hinduism, or any other religion. The concept of karma comes from the Bible. It comes from God Himself. Here it is, in psalm 18. David makes it crystal clear. When you honor God, God honors you. When you dishonor God, He allows your sin to dishonor you. God is good, faithful, honest, and true. When we display His qualities, honor follows. When we violate His qualities, we corrupt ourselves. Karma isn’t a mysterious force that equals things out. It’s just a worldly explanation for God being sovereign. So the next time you hear someone mention the word karma, smile, because you know it’s God being God.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;I have not turned from my God to follow evil.22 I have followed all His regulations;I have never abandoned His decrees.23 I am blameless before God;I have kept myself from sin.24 The Lord rewarded me for doing right.He has seen my innocence. 25 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful;to those with integrity You show integrity.26 To the pure You show Yourself pure,but to the wicked You show Yourself hostile.27 You rescue the humble,but You humiliate the proud. Psalms 18:21-27
