ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, BUT WE WILL BOAST IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OUR GOD.
Psalm 20:7
The desire and ever growing quest to achieve higher heights and leave indelible footprints in the course of human history has led many to sojourn in belief systems that is contradictory to the claim of the Master, Lord of Lord's and King of Kings JESUS CHRIST; 'I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE...'
Bible says, 'We all like a sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to our own way...' Isaiah 53:6. But there is a way that seems right to man but the end thereof is death. Proverbs 14:12.
Occultism, secret societies, juju men, greed and insatiable crave for riches have taken the place of God. There is that inner craving to reconcile with God in every man (generic). But instead of yielding to God's design and calling, in 2 Corinthians 5:19 : 'God was reconciling the world to Himself IN CHRIST, NOT COUNTING PEOPLE'S SIN AGAINST THEM...' some people are still walking in Isaiah 53:6 and Proverbs 14:12.
King Solomon the wise one said, 'I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battles to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned, BUT TIME AND CHANCE HAPPEN TO THEM ALL. Ecclesiastes 9:11.
King Solomon having urged men to work hard to achieve higher heights, by way of admonition tells them not to be confident of their own strength, as if they were very certain of success by their own effort. They MUST look up to God for His blessing, without which all their endeavours would be in vain.
What do you trust in? What is the foundation upon which you are building your life? You have placed your trust in people in position of authority, your formal educational qualifications, property illegally and greedily acquired or bequeathed to you, property legally acquired or bequeathed to you, spouse, parents et cetera? On Christ the solid rock I stand; ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND.
Is your world falling apart? Anytime everything arround you seem to be falling apart, the ground or floor beneath seem to be caving in, and all effort to hold on to life seem not to work, and you realise at your old age that all that you have believed and built your life on is a lie; then you would have cried like the palmist, 'I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. Psalm 121.
Turn from all these religious febles supposed to be leading you to God. Those in whom you have built your life on, have caved in themselves. Now that you are young, you think science and logic is wisdom. You detest anything built on faith in Christ Jesus. You will grow up only to realise your have lived all your life on falsehood. DON'T LOGIC THE WORD OF GOD. Your cronies would have passed on and the thought that they rejected Christ Jesus will hurt your heart. Your certificates, family, confidants, friends et cetera will sleep and slumber unlike the I AM.
Stop reading those supposedly knowledge built on falsehood and deception and read the Infallible WORD OF GOD. Stop aligning with the wicked and heartless to malign the righteousness and the elect of the Lord. Humble yourself and accept the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE which is Christ Jesus in you, the hope of glory.
