Truth That Leads To Life

Zechariah 10:2
Household gods give false advice, fortunetellers predict only lies, and interpreters of dreams pronounce comfortless falsehoods. So my people are wandering like lost sheep, without a shepherd to protect and guide them. (NLT)

Just as it was in the days of Zechariah, God’s people are still looking to the many false gods of this fallen world for truth about the how’s and why’s of living this difficult and challenging life. We may not have carved figures in our homes that we bow down to and worship, but just the same, we have many other man-made objects that we give our full attention to hoping they will give us the joy and fulfillment that our hearts long for. Many of the world’s people still go to fortunetellers, use Tara cards, perform séances, schedule their day by the horoscope found in the daily newspaper, and join various religious cults instead of looking to the only reliable source for Truth. And the only Reliable Source for absolute Truth, my friends, is the LORD God our Creator (John 14:6). And when you completely surrender your life to the LORD and His will, you will no longer find yourself wandering aimlessly through the darkness headed for hell, instead, He gives you both the desire and the ability to live a righteous life worth living—a walk in the Light that leads to Heaven.
This fallen world seems to have an endless supply of false hope and frivolous ways to obtain happiness and peace of mind that seem good at the time, but these schemes of the Enemy will only lead you further from the goodness that God wants for you (Matthew 7:15). We must remember and believe, my dear friends, that we are all God’s guests in this life; travelers just passing through (Psalm 39:12) on our way to an eternal life. You are given the choice to use your limited time depending on God’s Word to lead you Home or you can spend your allotted time searching for the things that will make you feel good in this life while ignoring where it leads to in the next.

A Whisper of Hope
Listen to Me…My child, for the words I speak to you are true. My Way is the only way you will ever find peace for your heart in this world of turmoil. For amidst all the turmoil “there is Hope” that will give you everlasting life—and My Hope I give to you—a Hope for a glorious future; one that is good and void of all evil. Trust in this Hope and persevere in Me; you will be glad you did!

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life;
no one comes to the Father but through Me. (NASB)

Matthew 7:15
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly are ravenous wolves. (NASB)

Psalm 39:12
Hear my prayer, O LORD!
Listen to my cries for help. Don’t ignore my tears.
For I am your guest—a traveler passing through,
as my ancestors were before me. (NLT)
