Then, you will know the truth

Lee Segal is credited with saying, "A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure." It's hard to trust anything if you are trying to trust two different things, and watches are no exception.

We have about twenty clocks in our house. And, as much as possible, I try to synchronize them. I mean to the second. I would love to see them all change the minute and the hour at precisely the same time. NEVER HAPPENS. No matter how much I try, over time, some of the clocks will lose milliseconds, which accumulate into seconds, then minutes, etc. So, at any one time, one clock could be twenty minutes different from another. BUT, if I only rely on one...

Today's word is 1 Kings 18:21, NIV, which reads, "Elijah went before the people and said, 'How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is GOD, follow Him; but if baal is god, follow him.' But the people said nothing."

Elijah was telling these prophets of baal that you can't ride the fence. Do you know why? Because, satan owns the fence. You are either on the right side of things or you are not. You can't continue to try to waver between two opinions; it is either twelve o'clock sharp or it isn't. It is either GOD is LORD or He is not. (HE IS).

There are a lot of us that try to "slip by", that try to justify some of the things we do by keeping two "rule books" - one for us, one for everyone else. There are many of us that try to "slip by" by just believing anything and everything, especially anything that will justify our actions. Trust me, there are enough false teachings out there to justify most any sin BUT that doesn't make it right. Choose to do right - follow the LORD GOD. Then, you will know the truth.

Be Blessed,
