THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO A MAN BUT
ITS END IS THE WAY OF DEATH ........................ PROVERBS 14:12. |
THE NARROW ROAD.
Do you see
that God tells us through King Solomon that men and women can walk all their life on a
given road but at the end is death.
This would be a devastating find for any person to encounter. Many would say, well who is
to be the guide?.. who are we to trust, confide in and place our all upon .. is there
anyone in this life that we may rely upon totally?.. the answer is yes!
Countless people are moved to place their trust in banks, building societies and religious
organisations who they say have been tried by the tests of time itself. Time is a good
test however there is another test that surpasses that and it is .."the doctrine
of Lord Jesus the Christ.'
Countless people feel great comfort in huddling together in their religious strongholds of
men's ways and seemingly right doctrines, they swear by them, they spend all their earthly
life and time convincing people of them and where did King Solomon say the ways of human
beings lead?.. death!
King Solomon, is talking about the mind here the thinking part of the human being. Many
people experience that certain things the holy bible says are not right until Father
reveals it to them that is. God shows us all that He is always right and that He is the
only one that ever wrote a book that had not one mistake.. (He wrote the holy bible by the
hand of man).
Hence our minds say one thing and His word another .. at times, at least until we by His
grace can see otherwise .... Matthew 16:17.
The mind tells people that God/Yah is a cuddly toy, a fat cat and friends type God, the
humphry bear type God, this is consistent with Israel of old, read the old testament and
you will see. Israel said time and time again in their arrogance and pride .. God will not
do anything to us, we are His people and He must bless us!.. Jeremiah 8:7-9 * Romans
11:20,21, Ezekiel 9:1-11.
I am sure that the sons of the high priest Aaron, Nadab and Abihu thought the very same
thing. I am without doubt that these two young men were thinking .. we are young priests, sons
of Aaron the high priest, our uncle is Moses, the one time prince of Egypt. Their way
seemed alright but it led to death, God does not show partiality toward any creature,
saved or unsaved. His word comes first at all times.. 2 Timothy 2:11-13, 1 Peter
2:24,25.
Seems means apparent but not in reality, His word is reality. Reality is what the world
and the churches, need a good dose of today, to sort out the men from the boys. Remember
dear reader, things may seem right but in order to know for sure .. see if it lines up
with His Infallible Word .. amen.
