                         Father Knows Best
Deuteronomy 8:3
So obey the commands of the LORD by
walking in His Ways and fearing Him.  (NLT)

     Our God demands our obedience, and the Father knows best—He knows the only safe way to live in this fallen world.  Our God creates people because He wants everyone to fully experience the joy of living.  Although this leg of our eternal life-journey is quite difficult for most, God promises us that it won't always be this way.  He personally came down from Heaven to tell us how to deal with this brief stay on earth and how we can escape its darkness. God came to shine His Light of Truth upon us, which would carry us through to the other side. Satan has spread his darkness so thick in this fallen world that most people will never find their way through it. They will never know the Father's Way, nor will they escape the darkness. When Moses gave Israel the Mosaic Law it was not only designed to save the people as a nation, but it was also designed for their personal health; to keep them safe, clean, and alive. It was also designed to show them their dependence on God. When we follow what the Father knows best, we experience a life filled with satisfaction, joy, and eternal hope.
    God also tells us that fearing Him is the beginning of all true wisdom. It only makes sense that we should fear the very One who created us, because the Creator is always greater than that which He creates. The Lord has already destroyed the entire human race except for one small family and He will destroy most of the human race again before the end of this age. Only those who accept His gift of salvation will survive. When the Lord God pours out His wrath upon this world, there will be no place to hide and if you are not protected with the saving grace of Jesus, you will suffer in the most horrible ways imaginable. If you do not fear God, my friend, it would be wise to take the time to learn why you should, for the Truth (when discovered), will save your life.

                                A Whisper of Hope
 I love all people, dear child...that is why I came and I died; to save My creation.  I AM not only a loving Father, a merciful Savior, and a gracious Helper, but I AM also a perfect and fair Judge.  Those who rebel against Me without remorse and repentance will receive what they deserve.  But those who know that the Father knows best, will receive the best of the Father!

1 Peter 4:17
For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin
with God's household. And if judgment begins with us,
what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed
God.  (NLT)

                 Don't be impressed with our own wisdom.  
               Instead, fear the LORD and turn y
                             our back on evil.  
        Then you will gain renewed health and vitality.
                               (Proverbs 4:7-8)
