October 8                                                          The Power of God’s Word
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths. – 2 Timothy 4:3-4(NLT)
CONVENIENCE VERSUS TRUTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you listen only to what you want to hear?
Are you allowing the Spirit to speak to you clear?
Do you go by your own convenience or God’s truth?
Are you giving in to your whims or does the word take root?
The truth will put off your sinful nature and let you walk in love
It will let you avoid the word’s system and focus to Him above
It will stop you from chasing myths and false teachings
The truth will set you free and allow you to keep on loving.
“Convenience” is mostly the choice of many as they go through life. Who doesn’t want to have a convenient life? We are mostly bombarded with advertisements targeting for us to have an easy life.
The bible tells us that there’ll come a time when people will choose to follow their own desires and choose convenience instead of God’s truth. They will reject the truth and believe in myths more. Are you choosing convenience more than God’s truth?
PRAYER
Lord, help me to walk in truth.
REFLECTION
What conveniences have you been embracing that defies God’s truth?
