The choices that we make
while we are here on earth will decide whether we we will spend eternity
with him or apart from Him. This is the message of Matthew 7:13-14.
"False prophets ... vicious wolves" will seek to lead us away from the
Lord (Matthew 7:15-16). We must pray that the Lord will deliver us from
paying lip-service to Him without living our whole life for Him (Matthew
7:21-23). How are we to live for the Lord? - We must hear His Word and
obey it (Matthew 7:24). Obedience to God's Word begins with hearing His
Word. Hearing God's Word leads to obeying His Word. May God help us to
build on Christ, always receiving His Word as the Word that speaks to us
with His authority.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
