God has not left humanity which He created without good direction in navigating the paths of life. Problem is that too many people don't bother to look into God's book of wisdom but choose to go elsewhere for their directions. Because of this, so many end up with very troubled and even wasted lives. What are some of God's words of wisdom for living a good life?
Israel had been a nation of shepherds from their beginning. Jesus teaches that He is the good Shepherd protecting His sheep from thieves and predators. He will even lay down His life for the sheep. Jesus also teaches that His sheep will only listen to His voice? We all need to ask - Is that true of me?
In recent years, we have been hearing a lot about how man-made climate change/global warming is going to bring catastrophe to the earth. As with everything, the more you hear something repeated, the more you tend to believe it. Thus the need to filter everything through the lens of scripture. Does the Bible have anything to say about God's superintending what's happening to the earth? Does He have any plans for our planet?
Paul warned the church at Corinth of "another Jesus" being preached to them. Is there "another Jesus?" What would such a person stand for? Teach? Would He be our Savior? Would He tell us the truth? Where would He lead us?
Hannah is a powerful example for us on how to live by faith. She had several problems in her life - she was childless and had difficulties within her family. Instead of taking matters into her own hands, she entrusted God with her troubles, and He blessed her. She kept her word to the Lord, and He continued to bless her in life.
