The Gravity of the Situation

Good Morning My Beloved Ones,

     I pray that your feet are firmly planted on the solid rock and you know beyond a doubt where you stand.

     Today I want to talk to you about “The Gravity of the Situation”.  In today’s ever-changing world, aren’t you glad that there are some things you can unequivocally count on to remain solid, steady, true and unchanging?  Gravity, for instance.

  Every morning you wake up, you can be certain that you won’t go flying off the edge of the earth because the law of gravity never fails to keep your feet firmly planted on this earth.  The same is true of the Word of God.  The same One who created the unfailing work of gravity placed other unfailing truths into a book for you and I that we can count on to keep us firmly planted when all around us is being moved and shaken.

     I’ve heard the Bible called “a fairy tale”, a “wish book”, an “archaic book of legend and poetry with no bearing upon the real world”.  I understand where these descriptions come from.  They come from people who don’t want to believe it’s true, because it doesn’t support the way they choose to live.  Mark Twain once said, “It’s not the parts of the Bible I don’t understand that disturb me – it’s the parts I do understand that disturb me.”

     When you are about to give your testimony in a court of law,

what do you do?  You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, don’t you?  Do you think it’s a coincidence that the Bible is made up of the Old and New TESTAMENT?  That’s right, it’s the same word.  The Bible is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

     A recent Gallup poll showed that 67% of people in the world today deny that absolute truth exists.  I don’t think they really believe that.  I’m sure every one of them believes in the truth of gravity.  So they believe in absolute truth.  Like Mark Twain, they are just disturbed by how that truth would affect them so it’s easier to deny it.

     Don’t let anyone convince you that the Word of God is less than 100% absolute truth, beloved ones.  It is a life-giving, life-changing firm foundation that is just as sure and faithful as gravity to keep our feet on solid ground.  That the majority believes otherwise is indeed the gravity of the situation.

Standing firm on the unchanging truth, your sister, Raelynn
