ITCHY EARS

 
 
2 Timothy 4:3


"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions." ESV


The Way to eternal life is a straight and narrow path. There is nothing glamorous or attention grabbing about it. It is a challenging path that takes full commitment and total self-sacrifice. Very few people humble themselves and commit to staying on this path. Even those who "call themselves" Christians do not really want to travel this difficult path. They look for an easier way, more appealing way, a less difficult way to feel they are walking in the Truth. The problem is there is no alternate route. There is only One Way. So let's take up our cross and follow Him.


Heavenly Father, we are in great need of discernment to know when the teachers and respected leaders of the church have changed the true message of the Gospel to one that is more compatible with our lives, one that is less of a sacrifice. Help us to keep from watering down the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others. Help us to teach and live the only Way to eternal life. We pray in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Amen.

LEVEL GROUND

 
Isaiah 26:7


The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth." NIV


"The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just." KJV


Since we live in a cursed world, all humans walk out their lives on paths that are filled with debris and potholes. However, those who are righteous in the eyes of the Lord, who is the only upright one, will smooth out those rough spots and work out the problems so that passage onward will be less of a burden and more of a blessing.


Heavenly Father, we're sorry that we forget that life in this world is difficult and You have told we will have problems here. When we come across stumbling blocks and things that stop our walk, help us to remember that You are with us to make those rough places smooth. You will work out all those tribulations for us, Your righteous ones. In Jesus' name, Amen.
