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!

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)
