God's Promises To Us When -  We Are Confused
By: Robert A. Searles

Many people in the world today are walking in spiritual darkness, and living in a state of gross confusion, even though, seemingly, they may be quite confident that all is well  with their soul, and eventually the land of milk and honey will be reached, although they don't know how. So by desperately striving, and searching for truth wherever it may be found, they hope to attain  peace on earth, and a place called heaven at last.

     People of the world have heard, and listened  to many voices – politicians; preachers; evangelists; educators; scientists; philosophers; and even fools like me, yet, who or what is to be believed?  Who is telling the truth? Who really knows the truth?  There are politicians, serving in positions of leadership and authority,  who promise great things for the people whom they are supposed to represent, yet, in many cases, they are discovered to be liars,  crooks, and self seekers.

There are  preachers, and evangelists occupying pulpits throughout the  world who  are preaching a good works – social gospel, and teaching about a God that they know only by name, and by the theology which they have studied  at some secular university, or so called Christian seminary. These, are those who have never truly been “born again”,  and do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is God, manifested in human flesh.  How can these prophets of God, so called, lead their flock into God's light and green pastures, when they themselves  have never quenched their thirst from the still waters of God's truth, -  from that fountain that never runs dry?

     There are educators, and philosophers teaching in our schools and universities, and even in some, so called, Christian seminaries, who dissect the word of God, piece by piece, word by word, to see if they can disqualify the infallible word of God from being the absolute, universal truth for all mankind.

Scientists present their hypothesis and try to prove the non-existence of an intelligent creator of all things.  Is it any wonder that we find our world today in such spiritual chaos and confusion?

It is easy to become confused by all the ideas that are presented to us, especially if one is not securely grounded in the word of God; however, God has  promised us a remedy for the darkness and  confusion that tend to enslave so many.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace as in all churches of the saints.” 1Corinthians 14:33.

“In thee O Lord, do I put my trust, let me never be put to confusion.” Psalm 71:1.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally,  and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.” James 1:5.

“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go.  I will guide thee  with mine eye.”
Psalm 32:8.

“And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; I will lead  them in paths that they have not  known.  I will make darkness light  before them, and  crooked things straight.   These things will I do unto them and not forsake them .” Isaiah 42: 16.

“Then spake Jesus again unto them saying, I am the light of the world.  He that followeth me shalt not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” John 8:12.

It is needless for men and women, boys and girls, to be engrossed in darkness and live a life of confusion when we have a Father who loves us, cares for us, and imparts his salvation to us through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Let the word of God be your spiritual compass, and it will lead you safely home.
