"Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them is
like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the flood came, and
the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had been
founded on rock." -Jesus
Matthew 7:24-25
In the age of information, there are many different opinions
and viewpoints expressed over the Internet, radio, and television. It's hard to
discern the truth at times and distinguish between what is fact from fiction.
During a recent discussion over lunch, a client I work with shared that her
teenage son feared that the end times are coming because of all of the bad news
he continuously sees on the news.
Regardless of the endless resources of information available
to us, God's Word remains the one source of truth. We can easily grow weary,
fearful, or discouraged by listening to public opinion rather than staying
grounded in God's promises and truths.
If you have enough time each day to watch television or surf
the net, try to save a few moments to read your Bible as well. It doesn't have
to be an entire passage or book, just start out slowly and read a verse or two
each day.
The news is daunting enough for a believer that understands
that we live in a fallen world, but I cannot imagine how terrifying it must be
for someone who doesn't know that this world is not our final destination. God
promises all who believe in him something truly greater than we can possibly
comprehend, eternal life in heaven. Build your house on a solid rock!
