Thought For Today - September 30
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. Especially in the coming election.
