“And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His bond-servants the things which must soon take place” (Revelation 22:6).

You will either believe by faith that what the Lord has spoken is true, or else you will follow what the world says and think that all religion is simply a matter of evolving thoughts about the bigger questions.  Although some mix all of this up, the struggle is to simply believe that the God of all creation has spoken the words He wants spoken in His name.  You will either believe He will do these things, or else you will not.

Lord, it is true that I have received conflicting reports and believe all kinds of subjective things about these words set before me.  You have given the words of eternal life.  Help me to stop looking for all the answers, and now apply these words that You have given me.  Help me to stop wandering and start moving forward on the narrow path of faith that You alone can lead me upon.

Lord Jesus, it really does boil down to me either believing that You are God in the flesh and kneeling at Your feet, or else not believing any of it.  Help my unbelief so that I may stand firm and humbly walk with You, and live this life that You have given me, and follow the way You would have me live it.  No matter the order of things, or things that I do not anticipate that will happen, lead me always in the way of Your promises.  Amen.
