"For the time is coming when people will no longer endure sound doctrine but will be so eager to hear what is new, that they will never have enough teachers after their own liking. And they will abandon the truth to hear fables." - 2nd Timothy 4:3-4
This verse from Paul's letter to Timothy describes so many people today. They don't want to give up certain things in their lives, things that lead to sin, so they search for new beliefs, mantras, and religions that suit what they want to believe and justify their sinful actions. They search for psychics and read horoscopes when it's a complete lack of trust in the Lord Almighty. Your life is not your own, you should never ever conform it to what you think works out best for you, especially when you know deep down that Jesus Christ is Lord and you know what you should believe and how you should live your life. The people Paul describes are confused and only long to fulfill their own desires, they waver about from new idea to new idea.But you, recognize that there is only one God and that His son Jesus Christ paid for the freedom of your soul with His own blood. He died so that you may know truth and love in Him. Stand firm in your hope and your faith so that you can be preserved through out your life and not waver.
Today's Prayer:
Lord, help me to stay firm in You and not waver about with the excitement of new doctrines and people promising to offer me what only You can. I recognize You as the way, the truth, and the life…Yours is the only path I want to follow. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
