Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. ~ Deuteronomy 7:9 (NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you wonder if the God of the Bible is worth trusting in (i.e. trustworthy?) Do you wonder if other gods could be the answer to today's problems and tomorrow's concerns?
The Israelites seemed to think so. Read the Old Testament and see how they went from god to god, looking for something to satisfy, trying to gain their footing in this human rat race, succumbing to evil temptation to sin in their religious worship. And when they turned from the Creator God, dividing their hearts and minds and engaging their spirits with the evil one through gods made of wood and stone, things went from bad to worse in a hot second! They opted out from the God who made them -- who lives forever and who loves forever those who love Him and follow His commands -- to serve and pay homage to the inanimate. Blind stones, deaf wood. Seriously, does that make any sense at all?
Today, we are still given many choices for our worship and our homage. What god do you serve? The god of money? Time? Self? Do these gods satisfy, or do they simply suck the life out of you, and leave you wasted, like dry bones in the desert? Do they love you with an unconditional, eternal love like the Almighty offers? In case you're still thinking, the answer is no. They don't.
Don't be misled by false gods. There is only one true God, and He offers the most magnificent package deal on the planet -- eternal love down to the core of your soul. Cut a deal with Him and you are sealed for life -- eternal life! (John 3:16)
Love,
Joelene
