You know they make some great commercials. I especially love
the insurance commercial where the girl is talking to a guy about what she read
about his insurance company on the internet. She tells him “they can’t put
anything on the internet that isn’t true”. At the
end of the commercial she walks off with a guy she had “met” on the internet
who was a French model, only he definitely was anything but that. Still she believed it and walked away arm in
arm with him.
There are so many things taken as true today. There are multitudes of infomercials extoling
the virtues of one thing or another, all the time promising that their truth is
the best. If you buy it, you’ll be
perfect, your life will be perfect, your future will be perfect. Just buy their
product, the book, the dvd…whatever they’re selling. There
is much on Christianity as well. I find that I get lost in the information
about all of it, unless I spend time in the Word. The more I fill my heart and
mind with God’s Word the more easily I discern the false from the true.
Oh beloved, are you drowning in a sea of information? Have
you searched everywhere for something to hang onto, something to make sense out
of your situation? Maybe you want to do your own thing so you’ve sought out
writers who believe you can do just that. Are you tired of running here and
there and everywhere to find something that really touches your heart and
changes your life? Run to God’s Word this morning and read! All the promises
mentioned within the pages of the Holy Word are true. They will feed you, they
will increase your beauty, they will add wisdom to your life and they’ll stay
with you when everything else, everyone else, is gone.
What wondrous love is this that the King of the Universe,
the Self Existent One would write a Book just for you to live by? No ordinary
book; written by no ordinary author; published by no ordinary producer. Thank the One Whose name is Faithful and True!
He loves you and He’s for you and that’s all that really matters!
Psalm 19:8-10 The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. Reverence for the Lord is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the
comb.
Hosea 14:9 Let those who are wise understand these things.
Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the LORD are true
and right, and righteous people live by walking in them...
2 Timothy 3:16 All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is useful to teach us what is true
and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are
wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
Psalm 86:11 Teach me
your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to Your truth! Grant me purity of
heart, so that I may honor You.
