Chasing Solomon

The man of pseudo faith will fight for his verbal creed but refuse flatly to allow himself to get into a predicament where his future must depend upon that verbal creed being true. He always provides himself with secondary ways to escape so he will have a way out if the roof caves in. What we need very badly these days is a company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as they know they must do at the last days.

Do you like getting yourselves into predicaments? Most people don’t. We’ll do whatever steps are necessary in order to stay in control of our lives; especially in the area of our finances. Are you able to trust the Lord with some areas of your life but have trouble trusting Him with your financial affairs? Are you willing to trust Him to save you from eternal damnation but won’t trust Him with your checkbook? Do you come up with a good plan B before venturing out into the unknown where the Lord may be calling you? But where is the faith in our self-formulated plan Bs? The Christian life is a life of faith, on in which we completely trust in the Lord for all of life and for our eternal future.

Christians affirm our faith as we recite the Apostle’s Creed. We say “I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.” If we believe like we say we do, then we clearly should have the faith to trust the Lord to guide our paths daily. We say we are trusting Him for our eternal future. But what about today? What about tomorrow?

The same Lord and Savior who has provided the way to eternal life is the same Lord who will guide your paths every day of your life. What need is there for a Plan B if you are truly trusting in the greatest plan of all, God’s plan A for your life? The good news is that He does have a perfect plan A for your life. Listen to the voice of the good Shepherd and follow Him in faith and obedience.

The Chasing Solomon Live II Conference will be held at Christ United Methodist Church in Jackson, MS on Feb 8th and 9th. Go to www.chasingsolomon.com for details. Let’s join together to be a “company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as we know we must do at the last days.”
