Lost?

Do you feel lost sometimes? Do you wonder how you got where you are and why you even decided to go there? Do you want to curl up in a blanket and close your eyes in hopes that when you open them again the mess around you will be gone? Do you want that slate clean so you could start over again? Are you confused about truth, life and yourself?

Well, join the crowd. These are things we all feel more than once in life. The answer is found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who is God. These feelings come when we decide to be our own God. We fall away, get into a mess, get lost and confused when we decide to be our own god. (By the way, that new religion that Oprah is endorsing is based on everyone being their own god.)

Now, let me point you in the right direction, the path, the way. Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the father (God) except by way of me." What does this mean?

It means we have sinned. Jesus died for those sins. We repent of those sins. God forgives us because of what Jesus did. We trust in His sacrifice personally to make us righteous. We invite Him into our lives as Lord (boss). We then are no longer lost, wondering and trying to make sense out of life because His wisdom now lives in us to shows us the way.

If you have lost your way, turn your heart once again toward Jesus and repent. Receive His words, truth and life. Enjoy.

These thought come to me today because of Proverbs 2. It talks about listening to wisdom, wisdom only found in God (not the Oprah show.) He left us a guide book, the Bible. In this passage it calls us to search for wisdom as if it were a treasure. Wisdom always points to the creator, God. We fear (respect and reverence) Him and experience the knowledge of Him as we read scripture and receive (believe) truth.

In plain simple terms it means this: When we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we escape the result of sin. We find the right path (Jesus is the way). Because of Jesus we are the righteousness of God, we are blameless and we bow down before Him our Lord and follow Him. This is wisdom

Do you feel lost? Look to Him, Jesus the Christ.
