MORNING MANNA          10-9-21

It would be a wonderful world if this was true of everyone. This is a simple, but very serious subject and we would be wise to give it our full attention. This is another reminder of the fact that who we believe is more important than what we believe. If the who is right everything else will be right.

A person might adopt the Christian’s creed as his own, due to personal preference, and get the facts straight and still not be saved. Unless his confidence is in the right object all he has is information. But being conscious of a fact is worthless unless there is confidence in the one from whom the truth originated.

To be of any value to us our trust must be in the Lord. We can be confident in the doctrines we embrace only because of the One who declared them. And knowing God cannot lie and will not mislead, we can rely upon what he reveals and rest in it as the truth.

When we know the source is pure we can drink from the stream without any fear of impurities. Therefore we can drink in the deep truths and glorious mysteries of God’s Word without any expectation of fully understanding them. That means although we are perplexed about the depths of some doctrines we can still appreciate them without  apprehending them.

Everyone has faith in something or someone, and where you place your faith is your choice. So, who do you trust? God or man? I’m praying that you will place your faith in the Lord and be rewarded accordingly. -HDS
