“So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them” (Galatians 4:16-17).
The way of the world against the way of Christ remains the same. There are those who would shut up the voice of Jesus. But the Word of the Lord is forever. Which voice will you listen to? Which voice will you follow? The sheep know the voice of Jesus. The sheep hear and follow the Master. Hear the truth and listen, for only the Lord has the words of eternal life.
Lord, I know these things in my mind but my heart moves to the tune the world sings. I am often torn by the ways of the world. Help me resist temptation and live into the life You have given me by grace. Guide me, O Lord, in the way of truth that I may now and always follow You in all of Your ways. Keep me from temptation and deliver me from all evil that I may forever be yours.
Lord Jesus, You know what it is to be tempted. You know this world and the constant noise that is raised against the simple truth of the Gospel. Help me, O Lord, to live into the life You have given me through faith. Guide me in the abundance of grace You provide to look to You above all things and be guided by Your goodness. You have pointed me to the Father. Help me eyes to always remain where You direct them that I may always follow You. Amen.
