One God

Psalm 119:114-117

Today we hear and many of us follow a type of doctrine that opposes and denies God. It is another one of those sheep clothing things. Yet it is as deadly as the wolf. Ever seen a wolf. They are almost the size of a small pony. They can take down large animals when the pack takes on the chase. They kill.

This false doctrine I speak of can kill, yet seems as innocent as a lamb. It is so natural in our modern language and world. It leads everyone into selfish living. We feel so at home in this climate that selfishness become the norm and anyone who is not clued in to its smoothness is to be pitied indeed. It sound like this:
  • If it makes me feel good it is right
  • If it makes me happy it is right
  • If it gives me what I want it is right
  • If it delights my ears it is right

Notice the main character in these phrases...ME. What a small package we deliver when we only deliver wonderful us to the world as we fulfill selfish driven desires. This is a shallow doctrine. Why? Because we become God of our own lives and eventually God of other peoples lives.

Do we know the future? Do we know all and have all power? Can we be everywhere a the same time? Of course not but God can. Why would we even want the job?

  • He has a plan for our lives...we follow
  • He lead us beside still waters...we follow
  • He delivers our us from sin...we follow
  • He has a place prepared for us...we follow
  • He asks us to trust and obey...we follow

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. Away from me you evildoers, that I may keep the commands of my God! Sustain me according to your promise, and I will live; Do not let my hopes be dashed. Uphold me, and I will be delivered;I will always have regard for your decrees. Psalms
