All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Things are not always what it seem

Proverbs 16:25

Before every man there lies a wide and pleasant road he thinks is right,but it ends in death.

Proverbs warns that we can be deceived into believing we are going down the right path and yet we are heading towards death...the opposite direction from God's will.We do not naturally seek God or pursue righteousness.

The scriptures says....

Romans 3:10-11

'No one is good..no one in all the world is innocent,'No one has ever really fallowed God's path,or even truly wanted on.

Only the spirit awakens our hearts to the person of Jesus Christ...are we able to desire God's will? If we make decision apart from the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God, we will be like a ship trying to sail without a compass.We will do what makes the most sense based on our own wisdom.

1Corinthian 1:18-19

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.For it is written:

"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

Only God knows the way that leads to life and He wants to lead us to walk in it.

The Bible says....

Matthew 7:13-14

Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad,and it's gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose it's easy way.But the gate way to life is small,and the road is narrow,and only a few ever find it.

Do not assume every opportunity that arises is from God.Satan will disguise himself as an "angel of light" and his invitation will seem to be in your best interest.

2Corinthian 11:14

Yet I am not surprised! Satan can change himself into an angel of light.

Yet his way leads only to death!

John 8:44

You belong to your Father,the devil,and you want to carry out your father's desire.He was a murderer from the beginning,not holding to the truth,for there is no truth in him.When he lies,he speak in his native language,for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The Word of God will be like a light to our path, guiding us in the ways of righteousness.

Psalms 119:105

Your Words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me,and keep me from stumbling

It can be dangerous to follow a path that seems right without first consulting the Holy Spirit for guidance.

John 16:13

But when He,the Spirit of Truth,comes, He will guide you into all truth.He will not speak on his own;he will speak only what he hears,and he will tell you what is yet to come.

Let's take time to seek the Holy Spirit's direction when we face decisions.The Holy Spirit will assist us to understand the truth.Let's trust Him as He leads us.
