Have you been looking for someone who keeps their word? Are you looking for someone who fulfills their promises? Are you seeking someone who you can trust? Have you found that person? Have you decided to put your trust and faith in God?
We all like having someone in our lives we know we can trust. We like having someone we can go to who will tell us the truth, even if it is not pleasant for us to hear. Having someone who will speak truth to us is very valuable for us. That person can help keep us from making mistakes.
It can be a challenge to find someone like that. It seems as though it is harder today than it has ever been. Especially, with all the false narratives we see on social media and so many people spouting those false narratives as though they were true. To find someone who does their research to determine the truth, then speak that truth to us is priceless.
Unfortunately, we too often forget that God is truth. Everything we hear or read should be evaluated against the truth of God. He can speak no lies. Not only does God speak truth, but he also fulfills all his promises. Again, an extremely rare quality. To speak with a person of God, someone who is steeped in God’s Word, and who speaks truth is of more benefit than all the education provided in universities.
I know, some may argue that last point. Theodore Roosevelt said a thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. Why should we believe that? It our knowledge and trust of God’s Word along with choosing to follow Jesus that grants us an eternal life with God. Though a college education may provide an opportunity for us to prosper in this world, it is the education provided by the Bible that grants us the joy, peace, and contentment in this world that no college education can.
I pray we all choose to spend time reading God’s Word. I pray we obtain the best education by studying the Bible. I pray each one of us know God fulfills his promises and put our faith in him. Read God’s Word. Study God’s Word. Know that God fulfills his promises. Put your trust and faith in God.
Deuteronomy 18:15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you shall heed such a prophet.
