Absolute Truth for All Genertations

 Thought for Today - April 14
Absolute truth for all generations
By: Robert A. Searles

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." Psalm 100: 1-5.

One generation after another cannot come along and rightly say that the things of God which were true for our forefathers are no longer true for us today. God never changes, he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His law and his power is immutable. The principles which God gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and his people, Israel, and the principles which Jesus taught are as relevant for us today as they were when he taught them. People are at fault and in gross error when they adopt the attitude of permissiveness, and situation ethics which is so prevalent in the world today. God changes not, and he expects his children not to be given to change as far as believing his truth and acting upon it is concerned.

Just because God has allowed us to have technological improvements to make us more comfortable and more effective in serving him; and because he has allowed us to put aside the horse and mule, as it were, and given us automobiles, planes, and computers instead, in no way implies that God has made of truth something different from what it already was from everlasting to everlasting.

God is steadfast and unmovable. Let us pray that he will keep us rooted and grounded in love and in truth, and stand our ground against the lies and wiles of the devil.
